Career
Theresia joined Wolf Theiss in 2016, having previously gained experience at leading commercial law firms in Germany and the UK. She holds a law degree from the University of Vienna and is admitted to the Austrian Bar. Upon her admission, she was the youngest practicing attorney in Austria.
Building on her extensive corporate litigation practice, Theresia also represents private clients and family offices in high‑stakes disputes, in particular contentious private foundation matters and shareholder disputes.
