A sound legal and business education in Austria and in English-speaking countries laid the foundation for my legal practice. I learned the tools of the trade in renowned, internationally active law firms. From the very beginning I enjoyed working out individual solutions for my clients and accompanying transactions with legal depth and commercial understanding.
My task as a attorney at law is to shape and optimize your legal position and to enforce your claims out of court and in court. It is my claim to find creative and legally secure ways for you to achieve your (commercial) goals. A good relationship of trust as well as respectful and humorous interaction are important to me.
