A management role, whether as a managing director, board member, or supervisory board member, involves not only a high degree of entrepreneurial freedom and decision-making authority, but also significant responsibility. In the worst case, decisions taken by those in leadership positions can lead to complex liability proceedings with far-reaching consequences. Our lawyers specializing in director and officer liability help you minimize liability risks through preventive measures and support you with legal expertise and commercial understanding in every legal challenge relating to your management role.

Our Expertise in Director and Officer Liability
Director and officer liability is an interdisciplinary field that spans a range of legal areas, from corporate and civil law to employment law, administrative criminal law, and tax law. Our lawyers have in-depth expertise and many years of experience in this area.
We provide comprehensive advice on all aspects of director and officer liability and place particular emphasis on working with our clients to implement risk-minimization measures tailored to the specific role and the company concerned – whether through obtaining D&O insurance or introducing tailor-made organizational safeguards within the business. Liability risks do not affect managers only on a personal level; they can also have serious consequences for the company itself. Appropriate protection through D&O insurance and a legally compliant, up-to-date organizational structure are therefore essential.
Our specialization is also reflected in a professional seminar on director and officer liability, which we have conducted for more than ten years in cooperation with a well-known publishing house in Vienna, with participants from companies of all sizes and from a wide variety of sectors.
From Compliance to Damages Claims
Our services include general legal advice on liability issues and preventive measures, as well as out-of-court representation of managers and companies in clarifying employment, liability, and compliance-related matters and claims. We also represent managers and companies in employment litigation, in damages proceedings connected with liability claims, and in the enforcement of coverage claims against D&O insurers.
