The settlement of disputes can be a complex and difficult matter; it not only requires a great deal of legal expertise, experience and sensitivity, but often also industry-specific know-how.
Whether it is litigation, arbitration, mediation or out-of-court negotiation: our sterling experts in litigious proceedings and conflict resolution will advise and represent you throughout Austria and internationally. We assist and support you upstream when it comes to choosing the right (procedural) strategy, subsequently during the (arbitration or court) proceedings as well as in out-of-court negotiations, up to the enforcement of your claims by way of levying execution.
For us, the top priority in all cases is to protect the interests of our clients and to weigh opportunities, risks and the costs of a lawsuit against each other, to assess them in specific terms and to communicate them transparently. Even in the most complex cases, our experts always keep an eye on the essentials in order to never lose sight of the key points in a dispute and to present them in a comprehensible manner.
All our experts have specialized in specific industries and sectors. In particular, we have broad knowledge and experience in the construction industry, the energy sector, in infrastructure and aviation. Thus, we are able to offer our clients a perfect combination of legal expertise and industry-specific know-how.
