Christian Wimpissinger is 'engaged and proactive' in handling matters falling under EU and other double taxation treaties, in addition to litigating Austrian tax matters, while Clemens Willvonseder 'is nothing short of outstandingly competent' in assisting with M&A and other transactional tax structures, VAT and stamp duty issues, and matters of fiscal criminal law.
