Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer's Austrian tax team consisting of two partners, two senior associates, and two junior associates handles a wide range of tax matters, including domestic and cross-border M&A, restructuring and financing issues, tax issues arising under European law, VAT law, transfer pricing and tax disputes. Anna Binder-Gutwinski, principal associate, is a rising star in its transactional practice.
Recently the firm provided tax assistance to a large telecom provider in addition to its continuing tax advisory in tax litigation. The team also aided an Austrian real estate company (one of Europe's leading real estate developers) in its effort to achieve carbon neutrality for all energy sources (electricity, heating, and cooling) by 2040.
Partner Michael Sedlaczek retired in May 2022, and the principal associate, Lukas Allram, departed the firm during the research period.
