The firm
Wolf Theiss opened its first office in Vienna in 1957 and soon established a reputation as one of Austria’s leading law firms. The firm has since grown into a multinational team of approximately 300 lawyers. It has offices* in Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Ukraine.
This presence on the ground is one of the firm’s key strengths. It works in a fast-moving part of the world that requires deep local knowledge and experience. By combining expertise with a strong international network, the firm is well-placed to handle complex cross-border transactions with a high degree of speed and flexibility.
Areas of practice
Wolf Theiss’ full range of services covers financial services, competition and antitrust, corporate/mergers and acquisitions, employment law, projects, intellectual property and information technology, litigation and alternative dispute resolution, real estate, regulatory and procurement, and tax.
The firm’s dedicated practice teams provide in-depth specialist knowledge in their respective areas, and are able to work closely together through a fully integrated network of 12 offices.
*As a technical aside, the firm has regulatory frameworks within which it needs to comply. So by ‘presence’, it is meant a legal form that is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in that country.
