Law Firm of the Year Austria Firm Profile


Graf & Pitkowitz is an internationally focused Austrian law firm. The firm was founded in Vienna in 1994 and expanded to Graz in 2002. Because we are not part of a formal network, we have the ability to select the best local partners for our clients’ international transactions without being limited to only firms within a given network. Our team consists of about 30 highly motivated specialists with outstanding national and international credentials; A number of our attorneys are admitted in other jurisdictions and most have benefited from experience at foreign law firms or international companies. We are a full service business law firm and advise our clients in all aspects of Austrian and European business law. We negotiate and structure business transactions and successfully represent clients before Austrian and international institutions.


We meet complex challenges by providing clear answers. In our daily work, we live by the motto: a simple answer is often the best solution. Because we believe that there is no clear answer without clear communication, we work closely with our clients to create individualized business oriented solutions. To promote this attitude, we have organized our firm into practice groups headed by one partner who acts as the communication hub and decision maker. Although that partner takes full responsibility for handling the respective client matter, the practice groups work closely together so that all clients can benefit from the firm’s full knowledge and experience.
