(Leading partners)Binder Grösswang
offers ‘exceptional expertise’ across a variety of tax structuring mandates, including M&A and real estate transactional matters, and VAT and transfer pricing arrangements across clients’ Austrian and European operations. On the contentious side, the practice assists corporate and HNWI clients facing audits and appears on their behalf before the Tax and Constitutional Courts. Such disputes are the domain of Christian Wimpissinger, whose expertise extends to double taxation treaties and European tax structures. He leads the practice alongside Clemens Willvonseder, dual qualified in Austria and Luxembourg, whose specialisms encompass M&A and financial transactions taxes, stamp duty and VAT, in addition to advising clients on criminal tax matters.
