Innovative. Digital. Competent. International. American.

We help you protect your legal interests in Europe, regardless of whether you are a private individual, or a corporation of any size.

Our US operation is there for you as a legal liason for your needs in Europe. Our US offices provide you a local representative, rather than having to find an attorney in Europe. This makes sure that you have a partner in your corner that is available to you right here in the US, while also being knowledgeable and licensed to practice law in Europe.

Whether you are doing business in Europe, want to buy something in Europe, want to get married to a European (or divorced), had an accident in Europe, or any kind of other legal issue or concern, we can help!

We are currently in the process of establishing our American offices and expect to start operations in the Fall of 2022. In the meantime, feel free to contact our European office at www.Anwalt-Unterrainer.com.

Note: We do not practice law in the US, but we are legal to practice in Europe (through our Austrian office - more info at www.Anwalt-Unterrainer.com) and we have partner firms in areas where we are not directly active.

Services for Corporate Clients

Contracts

Whether you are buying/selling in Europe, engage in a partnership, or need a different type of contract, we can help!

We can help you create and set up contracts from scratch according to your needs. We are also happy to review contracts someone else might want you to sign.

Also, getting things “notarized” is a big deal in Europe, and much more complicated than in the US. We are happy to assist with those needs as we have a network of notary firms we work with on a regular basis.

Data Pricacy and IT

Operating internationally (such as offering a web site) usually means that the owner of the site is exposed to a variety of legal issues and pitfalls.

Whether your business specifically operates in Europe or not, European IT-Law (such as GDPR) applies and results in a variety of obligations and guidelines, including privacy laws, data retention and storage laws, and more.

Through our partnership with CODE Consulting, we can help you with the legal side of IT-Law, and also make specific recommendations about technical aspects.
The combination of expertise in law and technology is a unique offering we provide.

Whether you are interested in registering a trademark or copyright, or whether you ran into an issue with existing rights and trademarks, we can help!

We offer services to register trademarks and copyrights (including research for existing and potentially conflicting marks). We also take on the responsibility of reminding you of deadlines and renewal requirements. We can also help and offer services to protect and defend your copyrights and trademarks.

Services for Private Clients

Being an attorney is not just a profession for us, but we are passionate about supporting and advising our individual, private clients with their legal needs.

We understand that legal problems often represent considerable hurdles and hardship for individuals, and when such legal trouble extends beyond one's own country, things are even worse. It is important for us to support you in your needs and being the “partner in your corner” that looks out for your interests.

We understand that individual clients need to have a special eye on the expenses and the hardship created by legal situation, and we pride ourselves in keeping both to a minimum, often resolving issues without going to court.

Immigration

Are you ready to move to Europe?

Whether you are interested in moving yourself, or whether you have an employee whom you need to get a visa for, we can help!

We can assist you in figuring out what kind of visa is appropriate for your needs, and what the boundary conditions are for obtaining such a visa in the shortest possible timeframe. Approaching this in the wrong way can not just be expensive, but lead to extensive delays and considerable hardship, which we can help you avoid.

Family Law (Marraiges, Divorces,...)

Whether you are ready to get married, or whether things didn't work out and you need a divorce, we can help!

Often, situations that involve family-law can turn into a lot of hardship. This is often even worse when the two parties involved are from different continents. Having an attorney that understands both the European and American laws and cultures is of cosniderable help.

We are aware of this often difficult situation and aim to minimize the emotional toll by working with everyone involved to make sure issues do not turn into multi-year nightmares. We are experts in assisting in low-friction conflict resolution, usually resulting in the best outcome for everyone involved.

Accidents

Accidents abroad are even less pleasant than accidents at home. We can assist you with your legal needs around all kinds of accidents, such as traffic accidents, recreational accidents (especially skiing accidents), workplace-related accidents, and so on.

Other Areas of Expertise:

  • Accidents (especially ski and traffic accidents)
  • Liability, tort, and warranty law
  • Wills, estate, and inheritance law
  • Criminal law
  • ...
