Practice Areas<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

We advise and assist you on all matters of public law, particularly in sensitive and highly regulated industries such as healthcare, critical infrastructure, and the energy and financial sectors, as well as on all matters of public procurement law, representing both contracting authorities and bidders.<\/p>\n

Our areas of expertise include:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Public Procurement Law<\/h3>

Public procurement requires careful preparation and a deep understanding of the formal requirements of public procurement law. We advise on supply, service and construction contracts, ranging from smaller procurements to complex large-scale procedures. We assist public contracting authorities in all phases of the procurement process, from planning and selecting the procurement method to drafting the tender documents, awarding the contract, and contract execution. We support bidders participating in tenders, preparing bids, reviewing tender documents, and enforcing their rights in procurement review proceedings. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Regulatory Compliance<\/h3>

Regulatory requirements are increasing in nearly all industries. We help you assess new European and national regulations in a timely manner, identify risks and design projects so that they remain legally compliant and future-proof. This also includes assistance in appointing designated staff within your company, including those responsible under administrative criminal law \u2014 both at the executive level and within the organisation\u2019s hierarchy. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Telecommunications Law<\/h3>

In the area of telecommunications law, we advise network operators, service providers, and infrastructure companies, particularly on fiber-optic expansion, broadband investments, sales structures, telecommunications contracts, and traditional telecommunications products. We assist you in planning and implementing projects, as well as in navigating regulatory requirements and administrative procedures, so that your infrastructure and business models can be implemented in a legally compliant and efficient manner. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Financial Market Regulatory Law<\/h3>

Companies supervised by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) are constantly faced with new regulatory requirements, such as those related to digitalisation, anti-money laundering, and operational resilience. We advise on all matters related to financial market supervision law, with a particular focus on MiFID II, AIFM\/UCITS, CRR, and DORA. Furthermore, we represent you in proceedings before regulatory authorities and courts. With our extensive experience in regulatory matters, we guide you safely through regulatory audits. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Energy Law<\/h3>

We support projects related to the energy transition and provide advice on energy generation (particularly solar, hydroelectric, and wind power), grid connection, energy communities, direct transmission lines, and other energy law matters. We assist you in structuring projects, obtaining the necessary permits, and drafting legally sound contract terms. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Foreign Trade & Export Control Law<\/h3>

In the area of foreign trade and sanctions law, we advise companies on dual-use goods, licensing and reporting requirements as well as exemptions, including in the context of transactions. We help you structure your international business relationships in compliance with the law and manage risks arising from European and national sanctions regimes. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Residence and Citizenship<\/h3>

Companies that bring international employees to Austria and individuals who wish to secure their residence status or citizenship require careful legal planning. We advise on residence permits under the Settlement and Residence Act, as well as on procedures for obtaining and retaining Austrian citizenship and represent you before the relevant authorities. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Data Protection<\/h3>

We have many years of experience in data protection law, particularly with regard to international data transfers. We assist data controllers and data processors in implementing the GDPR and national data protection laws, in documenting data processing activities, and in proceedings before the data protection authority and the Federal Administrative Court. In the event of a data breach, we assist you with the assessment and preparation of necessary notifications in a timely manner. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Digitalisation, E-Commerce, NIS2 & DORA<\/h3>

Digital business models entail a wide range of legal requirements, from direct marketing, cookies, and tracking to e-commerce platforms and IT security regulations (in particular NIS2 and DORA). We help you develop legally compliant digital offerings and processes, establish effective compliance frameworks, and identify potential risks at an early stage. Because violations can have serious legal, financial, and reputational consequences, timely and reliable legal advice is essential. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Law<\/h3>

Companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and healthcare sectors operate in a highly regulated environment. We support you in navigating Austrian and European regulations throughout the entire value chain \u2014 from market access and reimbursement issues to distribution, partnerships, and advertising, through to audits and compliance. This way, we ensure that your products and services are positioned in the market in a legally sound and sustainable manner. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Other Areas of Practice<\/h3>

In addition to our focus on public commercial law and highly regulated industries, we specialise in a broader range of other f public law matters. These include general administrative law, constitutional law, with a particular emphasis on administrative procedural law and administrative court proceedings, where we regularly represent clients in complex proceedings before administrative authorities and courts. <\/p>\n

Another focus is on traditional public commercial law, such as state aid law, environmental law, regional planning and building law, commercial law and municipal law. We support clients in structuring projects in compliance with the law, obtaining the necessary permits and addressing regulatory issues at the federal, state, and municipal levels. <\/p>\n

Cross-cutting areas such as digitalisation and e-government, as well as network and information security, complement our public law advisory services. This enables us to provide comprehensive support for projects where traditional administrative law matters intersect with modern technology and security requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
