Practice areas
The firm advises private clients and businesses. The German pages cover each area in depth; this overview summarises what we do.
Recovery of losses from online casinos that offer their games in Austria without the required licence. The Austrian Supreme Court has repeatedly confirmed that such gaming contracts are void and losses can be reclaimed. We run these cases via our platform casinoklage.at.
Banks added processing fees and similar charges to many consumer loans. Where such clauses are invalid, borrowers can claim the money back; we review contracts and enforce the claims in court.
Representation of plaintiffs and defendants in civil proceedings, with a focus on a goal-oriented litigation strategy. The award-winning dissertation of Dr. Oliver Peschel deals with the European consumer jurisdiction, so cross-border cases are part of the daily practice.
Claims for damages and compensation for pain and suffering, defective goods and breaches of contract, including medical liability cases, an area Dr. Oliver Peschel has taught at the University of Applied Sciences FH Campus Wien.
Protection against hate postings, cyberbullying and defamatory statements, and support with deletion and information requests towards large internet platforms.
Advice on tenancy law, in particular the recovery of overpaid rent after invalid index adjustments. Collective proceedings run via the platform DeineRechte.at.
Advice on establishing and defending brands, from applications to licensing, for corporations, SMEs and start-ups. Trademark applications run via the German-language page Markenanmeldung; English-speaking clients are welcome to use the contact form instead.
Advice on advertising material, customer communication and proceedings under the Austrian Unfair Competition Act (UWG).
Drafting of legally sound general terms and conditions and of B2B and B2C contracts.
Advice for artists, authors and media companies on copyright licences, rights of use and freedom of expression.
