Dispute Resolution | Contract Law
We represent and advise companies and individuals in both domestic and cross-border litigation (out-of-court, litigation, and arbitration). In doing so, we cover the most diverse areas of Business Law.
Through Deloitte Legal’s international network, we also support our clients abroad (e.g., in the cross-border enforcement of austrian judgments).
"In addition to the professional expertise, clients praise the advice as an overall package, because the lawyers not only take into account the legal environment, but also show a deep understanding of the respective business requirements."
