Practice Areas | Private Equity
Schindler Attorneys has one of the most comprehensive and accomplished private equity practices among Austrian law firms. Our Private Equity Practice combines extensive national and international experience with expertise in the areas of M&A, finance, restructuring, corporate reorganizations, corporate governance, employment and tax. Our multidisciplinary approach, including experience representing banks, debt funds and other lenders, enables us to draw on different perspectives when advising on complex private equity transactions.
Another focus of our Private Equity Practice is fund structuring. We advise originators on the formation and operation of private funds as well as investors on their investments in such funds. In addition, we represent secondary investors in connection with acquisitions of limited partnership interests in private funds and/or individual portfolio companies.
We regularly advise on the structuring of employee and executive incentive programs for portfolio companies and private equity investors. We closely follow market developments as well as frequent changes in tax legislation and authority practice, allowing us to advise on the design and implementation of tax-optimized and innovative incentive plans tailored to the specific requirements of private equity transactions.
We have extensive experience in structuring acquisitions and financings of private and public companies, including tenders, exchange and combined offers, going-private transactions, consolidations, spin-offs and minority investments. We advise our constituents on buyouts, ventures, mezzanines, specialist debts, hedges and real estate funds, as well as sellers of businesses, start-ups in financing rounds and portfolio company managers. We also support our constituents with reinvestments and in relation to rollover-regimes following the acquisition and sale of companies.
