Since 2013, our law firm has had a completely new look at its location at Hauptplatz 30. We have chosen a property that matches our personality and philosophy. The revitalized old building on Hauptplatz in Linz is a successful combination of tradition and modern office architecture.
However, the tradition of our firm goes back to 1877. At that time, Dr. Ernst Jaeger founded the law firm on Linz's main square. Our experience is accordingly well-founded and comprehensive.
We use this knowledge specifically for you when drawing up contracts, representing you in court and authorities, and providing general legal advice. In your interest, we always keep the economic dimension in mind.
We provide you with comprehensive solutions from a single source. You will be looked after by one of our lawyers as your permanent contact person. This guarantees you flexible and personal advice.
Rightly so. Well advised.

As with all legal matters, it is advisable to seek professional advice in advance, even if this involves costs.
Experience shows that legal disputes resulting from ill-considered agreements, regulations, etc. are associated with even higher costs as well as unnecessary expenditure of time and consumption of resources.
Don't take any rash steps!
Find out about the consequences before confronting your partner. Think about what a divorce means for you, starting with the question "Do I have to pay maintenance or is my partner obliged to support me?", "What will happen to the children?", "Where will I live in the future?", "How do we divide our marital assets or who will bear the debts?".
Don't rush into anything. Family disputes are stressful.
Moving out of your shared apartment too quickly or making a thoughtless comment to friends can irreparably destroy your rights in divorce proceedings. We will help you avoid such pitfalls.
Normally, a divorce entails not only stressful personal but also significant economic consequences.
You can and should therefore make use of our services in advance of divorce proceedings in order to protect your position in the best possible way.
The most common types of divorce are
- divorce due to fault,
- Divorce due to dissolution of the domestic partnership and
- the amicable divorce, which is in any case advisable.
However, it often makes sense to arrange a so-called “contentious” divorce by mutual consent.
Elder Law
Wills and living wills should be worded in such a way that they are valid and understandable for the surviving relatives.
Because at the time of its application, the author can no longer explain what he actually wanted.
This banal wisdom is not so easy to implement:
Formalities must be observed and ambiguities must be avoided. We can help you with this.
And should there ever be disputes over estates, we are available to help.
Our services:
- wills
- legacies
- living wills
- powers of attorney
- compulsory portion regulations
- inheritance contracts
- Donations between living persons and upon death

- Termination and dismissal of workers and employees including labor court proceedings
- Preparation and review of employment contracts, work contracts and other service contracts

and represent you competently in out-of-court disputes and in court proceedings.
Be careful: in employment law, things sometimes have to happen quickly. Hesitant behavior can lead to the loss of claims. So don't wait too long.
Real Estate
The rules of tenancy law play a major role in many areas of life. It is very important to be legally protected in both the private and business worlds.
In tenancy law, depending on the type of rental property, tenant protection standards must be observed, among other things. It is advisable for both the tenant and the landlord to negotiate a written contract tailored to their individual circumstances. We are also happy to advise you in the area of leasing and special categories of property law before the contract is concluded.
Our lawyers will prepare the relevant documents for you – in coordination with your tax representative if you wish – or negotiate them with the other party. We will also support you in the payment of fees for the documents. Our experts are also available to represent you in the event of a dispute before the local authority arbitration board or the relevant court, from the filing or defense of a lawsuit to the (eviction) enforcement proceedings.
Business
Do you want to start or buy a company? Do you need to appoint a new managing director?
Is there something wrong with the company you have purchased?
Our lawyers support entrepreneurs from the establishment of a sole proprietorship or a company through to its expansion and all other necessary steps. The solutions we can offer our clients are tailored accordingly.
