CHSH Cerha Hempel Spiegelfeld Hlawati is one of the leading corporate law firms in Central and Eastern Europe with its headquarters in Vienna. With a team of over 200 lawyers, we guarantee our clients experience and expertise in all areas of corporate and commercial law, both in Austria and Central and Eastern Europe.
Over the past 25 years, CERHA HEMPEL has been involved in a large number of the most significant transactions in Austria. This is what really distinguishes us as one of the leading law firms in the fields of mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, takeovers, privatisations, financing, and real estate and construction. We also enjoy an enviable reputation for our handling of large-scale commercial litigation and arbitration.
The fact that we understand our clients’ businesses has helped us achieve a high rate of success. It is no coincidence that we are the first port of call for a number of long-term clients whom we advise comprehensively on all of their day-to-day legal matters. Our focus is on supporting our clients in their corporate decision-making process. This means we do not content ourselves with standard solutions, instead we strive to develop and provide the best possible solutions for every challenge, tailored to each client’s needs.
On the one hand, this demands extensive specialist knowledge, motivation and commitment, and on the other, an excellent understanding of our clients’ businesses. Through our organisational structure, which allies our core teams with particular specialists, we are able to manage clients and transactions efficiently and effectively.
