Restructuring is the mainstay of Fellner Wratzfeld & Partners‘ insolvency and corporate recovery practice, with most major Austrian banks considering the firm as the ’go-to’ for complex, cross-border structures. The team also provides comprehensive advice to companies and creditors across a range of sectors, including prominently energy and media. Founding partner Markus Fellner is sought after for advice on high-profile banking and finance transactional matters, and leads the practice alongside internationally-focused Florian Kranebitter, who is a strong choice for cross-border restructuring and insolvency.
