While restructuring and reorganisation advice forms the heart of CMS Reich-Rohrwig Hainz Rechtsanwälte GmbH‘s practice, both debtors and creditors can rely on the team’s specialised expertise in the event of unavoidable insolvency. Dispute resolution-focused Daniela Karollus-Bruner and distressed M&A-oriented Clemens Grossmayer lead the practice, covering the breadth of contentious and non-contentious matters. David Kohl, who was promoted to partner in January 2023, supports on crisis situations and insolvency law issues. Anja Cervenka joined the team in October 2022.
Austria > Commercial, corporate and M&A
