International & Cross-Border Disputes - Austria
What the Team is Known For
DORDA is widely acknowledged as one of the most accomplished independent practices in Austria. The full-service team advises on both contentious and non-contentious matters that are multi-jurisdictional in scope, largely through its membership of the highly rated legal network The World Services Group. The team is accustomed to working on the Austrian elements of large cross-border projects and is also known to take a leading role on international mandates, particularly those encompassing CEE jurisdictions. The team has established longstanding relationships with firms with a strong presence in Eastern Europe, providing clients with a solid coverage of the region.
Clients seeking support in cross-border disputes are expertly advised by a team with extensive capabilities in both arbitration and litigation. The team is particularly attuned to the needs of insurance companies and regularly acts on cross-border coverage disputes. Multi-jurisdictional disputes arising out of the real estate sector are also adroitly handled by the team, adding to its noted strength in a broad spectrum of contractual and commercial disputes.
The law firm also stands out for its ability to handle cross-border transactional work. DORDA boasts one of the strongest corporate teams in Austria, which is regularly involved in large-scale transactions, advising on the Austrian elements of deals. The firm has a thriving TMT practice, which sees members of the team act on substantial cross-border data and outsourcing projects, particularly on behalf of insurance companies with activities in CEE. Equally, the firm is regularly sought out by multinational entities with interests in Austria.
