Testimonials
‘I am very happy to have Márton Kocsis to turn to when needed. His professional experience is very useful to us. He is also a calm person who really speaks the language of business professionals and can explain complex and difficult topics to us in an easy and fun way, and we like him a lot for this. We also really appreciate that he is always available to us, no matter how urgent the case at hand may be.’
‘Márton Osztheimer is a veteran professional, and it is obvious he saw business from up close for many many years. Márton really understands the way marketing and business people think, and is very useful in identifying alternative solutions instead of the “it is not allowed” type of answers that lawyers usually give.’
‘The competition team at CERHA HEMPEL Dezső contains seasoned competition law veterans, and you can feel and sense once you start to work with them that they are really passionate about competition law. I also particularly liked their business-minded approach towards any legal issues we have faced.’
‘Both Tamás Polauf and Márton Kocsis are experienced and practical attorneys whose knowledge clearly shows in their legal advice.’
‘CH proved that they could understand not only our legal position, but the internal operations and ways of working of the company as well. They do not just provide a legal opinion and support in this procedure, but also they are living with us through this case, informing me as legal director on all important steps and we can always have a brainstorming session on the best possible next step.’
‘The firm is very well versed in competition law and has a good understanding of the domestic context. The most important thing is that they explain the realistic possibilities before cooperation, which is fair.’
‘We worked mainly with Márton Kocsis, Anna Pintér and Boglárka Priskin. All of them were well prepared and understood our case accurately and quickly.’
‘Their attitude to work and their expertise is excellent, and they do their work humbly, concentrating on the case.’

CERHA HEMPEL is proud to be able to look back on a very successful history. Over the past 25 years, CERHA HEMPEL has been involved in a large number of the most significant transactions in Austria. The fact that the firm understands its clients’ businesses has helped CERHA HEMPEL achieve a high rate of success. It is no coincidence that CERHA HEMPEL is the first port of call for a number of long-term clients whom the firm advises comprehensively on all of their day-to-day legal matters. This expertise – combined with the firm’s years of experience in Central and Eastern Europe and its Lex Mundi network – ensures that its clients receive high-quality and sound advice, across disciplines and across borders.
The focus at CERHA HEMPEL is not only on classic M&A, but also on private equity transactions, and on resolving complex, often cross-border issues in a practical and commercially oriented manner, as well as providing ongoing corporate legal advice and handling and overseeing corporate reorganisations. CERHA HEMPEL has particular expertise in public M&A, including takeover law and regulatory compliance under financial markets laws.

The tax litigation team handles all aspects of tax disputes.
CERHA HEMPEL advises and represents clients before public administrative authorities and courts, as well as the European Court of Justice regarding questions of aviation law, public procurement law and telecommunications law, all of which the firm has been handling since such sectors were liberalised by the EU. The firm’s lawyers have achieved an above-average rate of success in such cases. CERHA HEMPEL also has many years’ extensive experience in commercial licensing law, healthcare law, university law, construction law, environmental law, and medical and pharmaceutical law.
CERHA HEMPEL is one of Austria’s leading law firms in the area of antitrust and competition law. Our clients benefit from our comprehensive experience and pre-eminent track record in many of the highest profile cartel proceedings and most prominent Phase II merger control proceedings in recent years. Our Antitrust & Competition Practice Group advises and represents Austrian and international clients before national and European competition authorities in all areas of national and European competition law. In particular, our Practice Group possesses specialised know-how in representing clients before the European institutions and courts, in particular in state aid proceedings, and in all likelihood handles the highest number of proceedings of all Austrian law firms.
For many years, CERHA HEMPEL has been one of the leading law firms providing advice on white collar crime. Our attorneys combine academic excellence with extensive practical experience. We regularly advise and represent Austrian and international companies, corporate bodies and private individuals in all areas of white collar crime, including in connection with allegations of financial crime, corruption, property crime and economic sanctions, to name but a few. We are used to dealing with complex cross-border issues (e.g. extradition, law enforcement, international criminal law). Our work includes in particular representing clients in criminal investigations, court proceedings and legal remedy procedures. What’s more, our attorneys regularly advise on compliance matters and in the course of internal investigations.
We have been advising significant private clients and entrepreneurial families ever since our foundation in 1921 and have always considered this part of our core business. Since the private foundation was introduced in Austria, this focus has been complimented by expertise in all areas of the law of foundations, including providing advice to public and church bodies on an ongoing basis. We have a wealth of experience in all areas of law that are of interest and relevant to private clients, entrepreneurial families, private foundations, legal entities under public law and ecclesiastical institutions, from contract and company law (including shareholder agreements), business succession planning and management, to real estate and tax law. In the event of shareholder disputes, we of course offer our clients advice on conflict resolution, but also stand ready to represent them both in and out of court.
Our healthcare law practice group advises public institutions, healthcare providers and companies in the life sciences sector on all aspects of healthcare law. We have a long-standing track record with respect to the establishment of clinics and other medical institutions and provide hospital operators with ongoing advice on regulatory issues. We also work a lot at the interface of corporate and healthcare law (acquisition of clinics, group structures for healthcare providers, etc) and have extensive experience with hospital financing issues. Another focus of our practice is advice relating to products in the life sciences sector (drugs, devices, tissue products, food, tobacco, etc). We regularly work for pharmaceutical and medical device companies and act on a regular basis as Austrian counsel for various renowned life sciences firms across Europe. We also have longstanding experience in the food area (food information, novel foods, supplements, health claims, etc) and regularly represent our clients before regulatory authorities and courts. Our well-established team of healthcare and public procurement law experts also advises regarding the participation in healthcare related procurement tenders.
