BINDER GRÖSSWANG Rechtsanwälte GmbH

National and cross-​border corporate mergers and acquisitions constitute an important field of practice at Binder Grösswang. More than half of our lawyers are involved in this key area.

Our specialists deal with national and cross-border cases of every size, including private and public M&A transactions, voluntary mergers and hostile takeovers.

The Binder Grösswang corporate / M&A team is committed to fulfilling our clients' business needs. With consistency and a focus on speed-to-market execution, we protect our clients' interests throughout all phases of each transaction. Our many years of experience in the field, sectoral expertise and solution-focused approach to the ideal structuring of transactions enable us to support our clients in the successful implementation of their corporate strategy.

In addition, the corporate / M&A team advises and represents limited corporations and partnerships as well as private trusts in all day-to-day corporate matters, the structuring of transactions, and in connection with complex, mainly cross-border, contractual projects.

We attach great importance to cooperation between the various practice areas and we assemble our working teams individually for each project. We call in additional experts as needed, depending on the specific case  – particularly in the areas of tax law, competition law, employment law and capital market law.

Litigation, arbitration und white collar crime: our dispute resolution team holds top international rankings in all these fields (Tier 1 in litigation in Chambers Global, Chambers Europe, Legal 500 and JUVE). We are renowned for our exceptional quality, experience and team size. Our clients value our strategies, problem-​solving competence and commitment.

We support companies, high-net-worth individuals and the world’s best international dispute resolution law firms in complex domestic and international disputes in nearly all sectors. We are particularly strong in the banking, finance and insurance sector, the construction industry, the energy sector, plant construction, the industrial sector, trade and distribution, gaming, motor vehicles, food and healthcare, IT and telecommunications.

Employment law is one of the core practice areas of every full-​service law firm. The success of any company depends to a large extent on its employees; however, the workforce frequently also represents a company’s largest cost factor.
Employment law issues concern every company, are economically relevant and, due to the strong national character of this area of law, cannot be solved transnationally. We offer domestic and international clients comprehensive advice on all employment law matters.

Thanks to our comprehensive expertise, our client base includes not only Austrian clients but also many international companies. They all benefit from the extraordinary commitment of our team, our focus on essentials and our solution-oriented legal advice tailored to individual needs.

More than ever before, innovation, customer communications, and information technology are now decisive factors for growth and business success. This circumstance, combined with the technical innovations of an increasingly digitalized world, often determines the future viability of companies.

The protection of your company's know-how, designs, inventions, confidential information and trademark rights, as well as the utilization of digital possibilities and information technologies, are of crucial importance. Equally important is the question of the boundary to third-party rights and the extent to which these may be used.
