DLA Piper Weiss-Tessbach Rechtsanwälte GmbH works alongside the firm’s international network to oversee complex pan-European investment and merger control filings, while also advising clients facing investigations by the Austrian authorities or European Commission into abuse of dominance and cartel allegations. The practice is headed up by Marc Lager, whose workload spans the spectrum of European and domestic competition law, and was augmented by the March 2025 arrival of Florian Prischl, formerly of STADLER PARTNER Rechtsanwälte GmbH, who accompanies clients through competition investigations and merger control hearings alike.
