Offering ‘unparalleled breadth in Austria and Eastern Europe’, Schoenherr (Schönherr Rechtsanwälte) appears for both claimants and defendants in cartel damages hearings, while also operating a strong merger control practice, tackling both Phase I and II proceedings. Heading the team is Christoph Haid, who handles merger and FDI filings across the CEE region, in addition to advising clients on cartel damages strategies. Hanno Wollmann’s expertise lies in both competition litigation, where he tackles both public and private proceedings, and in designing compliant horizontal and vertical cooperation agreements. Franz Urlesberger assists clients with developing antitrust compliance programmes alongside his private enforcement work, both of which are also areas of focus for Stefanie Stegbauer.
