Business
We help start-ups and international SMEs to establish their businesses in Austria, optimize their legal form, do corporate housekeeping and restructure or adapt to changing circumstances (VUCA). We work from a legal and a business perspective with a focus on cross-border structures with companies based in Austria, Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. baumgartner.law is experienced with m&a work, contract drafting and transaction management. Due to our international network and experience we smoothly think, conceptualize and establish corporate structures across the European continent. We can set up an impactful and efficient team of lawyers and business advisors (www.european-lawyers-group.eu).
Dispute resolution
We help our clients to enforce or defend their rights in all Austrian courts. Adversary proceedings are not always the most efficient solution. Thus we also work in the area of mediation, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 524/2013.
baumgartner.law represents clients in all Austrian courts and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg.
We offer advice to international and national SMEs in the financial services sector dealing with US-clients and FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act). We help with system requirements as well as ongoing reporting to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). We have an effective network of specialized tax attorneys who are familiar with Austrian, Swiss and Liechtenstein structures and reporting requirements.
We inform and help to implement the OECD CRS (Common Reporting Standard) to our clients’ businesses. This includes legal advice and information on legal issues in connection with technical requirements and proceedings pursuant to the OECD CRS.
We support white collar crime convicts and their families throughout all stages of a commercial criminal proceeding. We know the issues at hand and how to deal with all legal and business related questions.
In doing so we are taking a comprehensive 360-degree approach. https://compass360.at/
Strategies to help reduce physical and mental strain, tailor-made legal solutions to ensure continuation of your business and managing family matters, as well as communications and data security, obtaining new prospects for life, sustainable organization and time management are the very core of our business.
Language barriers should not be business barriers. French and Italian SMEs can accede the Austrian market with our help. We make our French and Italian clients understand Austrian legal requirements for their businesses – in their language.
baumgartner.law works in cooperation with SDH Law and the European Lawyers Group. The established network across Europe and the UAE makes it easy to set up an international team of lawyers.
Due to our experience in Liechtenstein and Switzerland we are familiar with legal and administrative issues in connection with the establishment of businesses, cross – border corporate structures and trust- and foundation law. Our well-established network in both countries extends to lawyers and business advisors.
baumgartner.law has established relationships with US expert law firms focused on US tax law and FATCA. Due to our participation in the UoT Alumni club (Rotman School of Management, Toronto), we are happy to help set up a legal team for our clients in Canada too.
