Legal market overview
Within Legal market overview,
The redundancies that have hit Western European firms hard are much less evident in Austria, and many of the larger players are as ambitious as ever, with the economic crisis barely dampening expansionism. CHSH Cerha Hempel Spiegelfeld Hlawati, Wolf Theiss and Schoenherr are still sweeping across the CEE, although the mid-tier firms operating out of the capital still garner their fair share of the mandates on offer. Austria has a large number of smaller players, and the boutiques, such as Fellner Wratzfeld & Partners, Schramm Öhler Rechtsanwälte and Gassauer-Fleissner Rechtsanwälte GmbH still prove to be a very successful model.
Private client
Within Private client, Gassauer-Fleissner Rechtsanwälte GmbH is a second tier firm,
