When your property, your inheritance or your capital is at stake, you don’t need platitudes – you need someone who knows where contracts fail.

Working as a lawyer in Vienna since 2010, admitted to the bar in 2014, bar exam passed magna cum laude. Eight years as partner and managing shareholder of a Viennese commercial law firm, today with her own firm in the centre of Vienna.

Why that makes a difference: Most lawyers see a transaction from the side on which it is meant to succeed. As an insolvency administrator, she sees the other side every day – where financing collapses, contracts have gaps and promises are worth nothing. That knowledge goes into every contract before it is needed.

How she helps:

Real estate law in all its aspects
Purchase and sale, purchase offer, purchase contract and escrow handling, condominium ownership, developers, warranty and release of encumbrances. For apartment purchases at a fixed price with KaufSicher – draft contract within 48 hours on working days once all documents are available.

Insolvency & Restructuring
As insolvency administrator in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland, she knows corporate crises from the inside: restructuring and turnaround, creditor representation, avoidance risks – and solutions while there is still room to act.

Inheritance law
Wills, gifts, compulsory shares and estates – including assets in several countries.

Investors, funds and special situations
Advising investment funds, family offices and owners on real estate and corporate transactions, equity investments, refinancings and restructurings – with partners in Bulgaria, Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the USA and the Middle East, among others.

Corporate law & M&A
Company acquisitions and sales, equity investments, corporate structuring and contract drafting.

Residence and settlement law
Red-White-Red Card, settlement permits and residence titles for entrepreneurs, skilled workers, investors and their families.

Civil litigation
When negotiation is no longer enough: representation in court – with the aim of resolving conflicts economically, not prolonging them.
