Fields of Expertise

Our main practice and advisory activity is concerned with business law. However, we advise private clients and business companies equally. Through the varied and complementary specializations of each of our lawyers, our firm offers a broad and extensive scope of expertise.

From its creation and throughout its existence, our firm offers to businesses (both companies and individual enterprises) all services and counsels relative to registrations filing, corporate structuring, holdings set-up, and contracts. Through our own specific expertise in fiscal law and our contacts with local and international experts, our counsels include tax law planning to the setting up of a company.

In order to assist business clients in their day-to-day operation, we practice employment law, including representations before the labor and employment courts. We have extensive experience with collection and debt recovery procedures.

As attorneys of two banking groups, we deal with issues regarding the banking business, contractual banking law, and banking examination law every day.  We are thus able to counsel both business clients and consumers on all issues of investments and banking law.

The firm is also specialized in insurance law, both in matters of contractual counsel and indemnification litigation.  In addition, our office has a specific expertise and Dr. Neumayer is a published author in the field of insurance agency law.

Neumayer, Walter & Haslinger practice the law of intellectual property both in its classical interpretation (copyrights, trademarks, patents) but also in its more recent developments brought about by information technologies (software, domain name protection, etc.).  Dr. Neumayer is a published author in the fields of both IP rights and privacy rights protection, while Dr. Haslinger is a specialist in information technologies law.

We can assist with a variety of real estate law issues: we handle contractual transactions and land register filings, and also deal with tenancy matters.  We have long years of experience representing several property managements firms.  We also practice in the related field of construction law, representing both building companies (including subcontractors) and their clients. In our experience, the complexities of Austrian construction law and regional planning laws make the counsels of a professional real estate lawyer a necessity to both real estate owners and builders.

Relatively to tourism law, our firm is at the leading edge of this emerging field of specialization, being the habitual counsel of the Austrian Tourism Association and a legal advisor on legislative initiatives regarding travel law.  The firm not only represents travel organizations and tour operators, but also consumers in their compensatory claims for miscarried vacation trips.

Finally, our firm offers its clients professional solutions to questions of administrative procedure, administrative penal law, and public business law.  Our lawyers also handle representations before the Superior Administrative Court, the Constitutional Court, and the European Court for Human Rights.  In these endeavors, the firm enjoys the expert advice and knowledge of our external consultant, Professor Robert Walter, DDr.DR, hc.
