Austria > Commercial, corporate and M&A

The ‘very responsive, highly professional and deal-driven‘ team at Binder Grösswang attracts praise for its strong M&A and corporate offering and is also well versed in handling restructurings and private client mandates. In the corporate sphere, Florian Khol and ‘grand seigneur‘ Michael Kutschera acted as legal counsel for Lenzing on forming a joint venture with Duratex to build a dissolving wood pulp plant in Brazil and, in the transactional space, Thomas Schirmer advised Ardian on the sale of its shares in Esim Chemicals to Sun Capital Partners. The team, which includes Andreas Hable and Gottfried Gassner, also assisted the founding shareholders of the Greek company Argo SA with the sale of 100% of its shares to Alpla. Hermann Schneeweiss joined Eisenberger & Herzog in March 2018.

Austria > Private client

Binder Grösswang’s ‘exceptionally professional’, ‘determined’ and ‘very flexible and co-operative’ private client team provides ‘comprehensive expertise’ on matters relating to succession planning and foundations, including their establishment, structuring and dissolution, investments, real estate and change of residence. Recognised for ‘his exceptional skill’, the ‘very calm and collected’ Andreas Hable jointly heads the team with Bernd Schneiderbauer, who is ‘able to think beyond borders and to take a holistic view of the entire case.’ Hable and Schneiderbauer have recently been advising a well-known Polish entrepreneurial family on the establishment of an Austrian private foundation with respect to international succession and wealth planning.

Austria > Tax

Binder Grösswang‘s corporate prominence translates into a steady flow of mandates at the intersection of tax and corporate law but the ‘responsive‘ team also handles international tax including base erosion and profit shifting matters, tax litigation and private client issues. ‘Commercially savvy‘ co-head Christian Wimpissinger advised Constantia Flexibles on tax law issues pertaining to the sale of its Labels division to Multi-Color, and co-head Andreas Hable acted for Heitkamp Construction in proceedings concerning the recovery of tax withheld by Alpine Bau, the Swiss subsidiary of Alpine Bau GmbH.
