Reliable legal support \u2014 in Austria and throughout Europe.<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Every proceeding before a court or public authority involves different interests.
As lawyers in Vienna, we represent our clients in all situations \u2014 regardless of how complex or seemingly hopeless a case may be. Every proceeding can be resolved through the right legal intervention. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We enforce claims<\/p><\/h4><\/div>

On the one hand, a party may seek to enforce a claim against another party (as the claimant or party asserting the claim). This is referred to as \u201cactive litigation\u201d because the party is responsible for actively advancing the proceedings, for example by filing motions and obtaining evidence. <\/p>\n

This may involve payment of a sum of money, eviction from a property, publication of a judgment, repair of an item, or return of goods or real estate, among many other matters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We defend against claims<\/p><\/h4><\/div>

On the other hand, a party may seek to defeat a claim brought by one or more other parties once and for all (defending a claim). This puts you in a completely different position. Depending on the burden of proof in the proceedings, targeted motions, challenges and expert opinions can be used to put the opposing party under pressure and significantly weaken their legal position. <\/p>\n

Good legal advice is often demonstrated by identifying poor prospects of success at an early stage, thereby enabling a settlement that is favourable to the client.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We are there for you at every stage<\/p><\/h4><\/div>

Whether a dispute is settled out of court, a settlement agreement is concluded, a stay of proceedings is agreed during a hearing, correspondence is conducted outside court, judgments are obtained, or appeals are filed\u2014for example, with the Higher Regional Court or the Supreme Court\u2014as a competent commercial law firm in Vienna, we and our experienced team advise and represent you at every stage of the proceedings.<\/p>\n

Many court proceedings\u2014regardless of whether legal expenses insurance has confirmed coverage\u2014can seriously threaten the financial viability of both companies and private individuals.<\/p>\n

Whether you are a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), start-up, family business or growing company, our entire team enforces your claims throughout Austria and Europe and ensures that proceedings are conducted in accordance with the applicable laws and clear rules.<\/p>\n<\/div>
