A strong team –
our lawyers

We freely share our knowledge, experience, and opinions with each other. This direct and open culture of communication and close collaboration enable us to provide efficient and creative support to our clients.

Dr. Peter Prettenhofer comes from a Viennese family of lawyers. As early as the 1970s, he developed the firm he inherited from his father into a medium-sized law firm specializing in commercial law. Since 2005, he has been operating it under the company name of Prettenhofer Raimann Pérez [since 2021 including Tschuprina] Rechtsanwalts­partner­schaft. His work focuses on the automotive, pharmaceutical, and real estate industries. Our clients particularly value his attention to detail and his ability to think beyond the limits of the respective field. Since his retirement at the end of 2012, Dr. Peter Prettenhofer has been available to give advice whenever necessary, as well as to share his experience and his excellent contacts, especially those to tax consultants, notaries, and economic interest groups (in particular the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber and the Federation of Austrian Industries).

Mag. Alexander Raimann, LL.M. graduated from the University of Graz in 1996. After his legal internship in the judicial district of the Graz Higher Regional Court, he studied European Law in Germany and received his Master of European Law in 1998. After working in Viennese and Graz law firms, he first joined our practice as a trainee lawyer in 2001 and later, in 2005, became a partner. His strengths are his persistence in addressing the concerns of our clients and his economically oriented solutions, which never lack creativity. Furthermore, our clients benefit from his extensive contacts, in particular in the economic sector.

Lic. iur. Michael Pérez, Swiss and Spanish national, completed his legal training in Switzerland and then worked for several years in Switzerland as a lawyer in the regions of Western Switzerland and Basel. In 2006, he received his license to practice law in Austria. Since then, he has been responsible in particular for our clients with bilateral ties with Switzerland and Austria, in line with the “one-stop shop” principle. His focus is on legal issues related to the settlement of businesses, as well as cross-border distribution and sales activities. Due to his role as member of the board and legal counsel at the Chamber of Commerce of Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein (www.hk-schweiz.at), Lic. iur. Michael Pérez also has access to valuable contacts, especially in the areas of economy and trade in all three countries.

Mag. Jakob Tschuprina studied law at the University of Vienna. He then completed his legal internship in the judicial district of the Vienna Higher Regional Court and passed the Austrian Bar Exam in Vienna. By virtue of his family background, he is fluent in Russian and Ukrainian and makes an important contribution to our practice, especially in the support of our clients from the former Soviet Union.
