Our advice
The first step is a realistic assessment: what claims arise, what defences are likely, what evidence is available and what outcome is commercially sensible? On that basis, we develop the litigation and negotiation strategy. Where urgent action is required, we consider protective measures and interim relief.
We conduct civil and commercial litigation before Austrian courts and act in arbitration proceedings. Our work includes contractual, corporate, construction, real estate, warranty and damages disputes. Expert issues and extensive documentary records are organised and translated into a clear legal case.
An out-of-court solution is appropriate where it achieves the objective reliably and on acceptable terms. We conduct settlement negotiations and assist in mediations while maintaining the preparation necessary for court enforcement. Following a decision, we advise on recognition, enforcement and implementation.
Our approach
We communicate prospects, risks and costs clearly and align the strategy with the commercial significance of the dispute. Determined litigation and a genuine willingness to settle are not mutually exclusive; the decisive question is which approach best serves the client’s objective.
