The contract as a secure foundation for companies
Contracts are an integral part of business life: Employment contracts with employees, general terms and conditions, supply contracts, purchase contracts with customers, cooperation agreements with partners, etc.
Every single contract should be legally compliant – because only then can you build a secure foundation for your business activities.
As modern and innovative contract lawyers, we keep pace with the latest developments. We know what matters when it comes to contracts—whether in business law, corporate law or real estate law. As part of our work as escrow agents, Mag. Schaunig and his team also handle the escrow processing of purchase agreements, transfer agreements and assignment agreements.
As an experienced business law firm, we deliver the best and most legally sound results for our clients by drawing on numerous precedents, collections of model documents, contract templates, AI-assisted contract drafting and extensive legal expertise.
In doing so, we take two things into account: the many different types of contracts require different clauses and provisions, and every company needs customized agreements tailored to its specific needs that are also enforceable in the event of a dispute.
We support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups, family businesses and growing companies at our Vienna law firm by providing professional legal advice and reviewing and drafting contracts — throughout Austria and Europe.

Why is a lawyer a good contract negotiator?
Lawyers have been trained since law school to enforce their clients’ claims in court. Thanks to their comprehensive insight into existing, past and potential future disputes, a contract law lawyer knows what is important when drafting contracts and which formulations, clauses and other provisions are essential.
Paper is patient. Often a wrong comma within a clause can already decide the existence or non-existence of a claim. The lawyer’s many years of court experience, regular further training and good liability insurance ensure that the client’s interests are protected in the best possible way and that their rights can be enforced in the best possible way when drawing up or reviewing contracts.
You are therefore welcome to contact us with any questions relating to contract law. We will provide you with comprehensive advice in a free initial consultation at our law firm in 1020 Vienna!
Model contracts: a solution with stumbling blocks
Loopholes in contracts cause one thing in particular: problems. And this is precisely the difficulty with standard contracts. Overly general wording and a lack of individuality make these contractual documents vague and vague. They are suitable for as many situations as possible, but do not take into account the individual circumstances of companies.
In most cases, important aspects and clauses are missing and contractual errors can even arise due to ambiguous wording. At first glance, inexpensive sample contracts quickly become expensive; even more expensive than a professional draft would have been.
As a lawyer for contract law, we will be happy to give you an estimate of the costs for an individual contract in a free initial consultation.
