Our Corporate/M&A lawyers are used to being busy. In recent years, they have handled some of the biggest transactions ever to have taken place in Austria and Central and Southeastern Europe – ranging from private equity transactions and public takeovers, to share issuances, management buy-outs and privatizations. Fortunately, they’re not short on energy.

Corporate/M&A is our largest practice group, helping a wide range of clients through all stages of the corporate lifecycle, from forming companies and joint ventures right through to winding-up, restructuring or buy-outs. Our Corporate/M&A practice focuses on four main areas:

Mergers and Acquisitions: Our M&A work typically involves a cross-border transaction between two or more countries in the CEE/SEE region. We may act for buyers, sellers or targets, or we may represent their boards and investors.

Restructurings: At the interface of corporate, tax and insolvency laws, our restructuring task force plans and implements domestic and cross-border group restructurings and advises debt or equity stakeholders or interested investors in the course of reorganizations and turnarounds of distressed entities.

Private Equity: We see private equity as a distinct discipline within M&A that requires specific expertise and familiarity with the way private equity works. Many of our lawyers come from backgrounds in private equity, or have extensive expertise with private equity transactions, so we are able to draw on a great deal of first-hand experience.

General Corporate: Our general corporate work extends to a wide range of corporate and strategic issues. We enjoy acting as a partner to our clients, supporting them through each stage of the corporate lifecycle and helping them to achieve their long-term goals.

Our Corporate/M&A team brings together expertise in a wide range of sectors: financial institutions, pharmaceuticals, telecoms, media, microelectronics, energy and healthcare – to mention just a few. So whatever your area of expertise, you can be sure we’ll have the knowledge and experience to match.
