What we move.

Formation & structuring

GmbH, AG, FlexCo, fund structures, holding structures and joint ventures: preparation of formation and contract documentation — from the initial idea through signing to entry in the Austrian Companies Register.

M&A & transactions

Asset deals and share deals, structuring of sale processes, due diligence, SPA negotiation, signing/closing mechanics — including cross-border via our European network.

Participations & shareholder matters

Investment agreements, share transfers, syndicate and shareholders' agreements, earn-out structures and vesting models for founders and investors.

Restructuring & reorganisation

Mergers, demergers, contributions, conversions of legal form and capital measures of any kind (increases, decreases or optimisation) — shaping deals rather than merely defending them.

Dr. Schermaier or Mag. Gross.

Dr. Schermaier leads M&A and corporate mandates, Mag. Gross handles ongoing corporate advisory and day-to-day matters. Together they cover the full spectrum from a first formation through to complex transactions.
