Business law – essential for your company – Our specialization – your competitive advantage
Your strong partner for corporate law and M&A
Company law is a sub-area of commercial law, which in turn is part of corporate law. Company law is very diverse:
It deals with rights and obligations. Rights and obligations of companies, shareholders and managing directors – among themselves, but also towards third parties. We always recommend a partnership agreement, which we will be happy to draw up for you.
It deals with legal and corporate forms. Together we clarify which legal form suits your project (GmbH, AG, OG, FlexCo, FlexKapG, GesbR etc.). We also take into account the different forms of liability, number of shareholders, market orientation, expected profits and so on.
It deals with M&A. Corporate transactions are a sub-area of company law. Whether you are selling shares, merging several companies or splitting up a company, we will be happy to advise and represent you here too!
As a specialist lawyer for corporate law, we support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups, family businesses and expanding companies in all corporate law matters – in Austria and throughout Europe.
