Welcome to AllRight Attorneys in Cooperation

Construction Law
While residential space is getting denser, the public-law procedure to obtain construction permits is becoming increasingly important. On the one hand, a developer wants to take advantage of the greatest possible dimensions allowed by the zoning regulations while, on the other hand, neighbours are interested in safeguarding their current residential quality. Frequently, only legal intervention during which the principles of regional planning are reviewed can achieve satisfactory results. Our law firm’s main endeavour is to assist you in achieving these solutions.

Engineering Proceedings
The approval of major as well as smaller engineering projects (e.g. motorways, construction projects, national roads, landfills, shopping centres, railway tracks, football stadiums, commercial businesses, high-speed tracks, industrial plants, ski-lifts, underground car parks, wind generators) under public law inevitably entails conflicts of interests. Permanent contact with public authorities, courts and experts is therefore of crucial importance. In this area, we can rely on many years of experience.

Spatial Planning Law
Jurisdiction for regional development is highly fragmented in Austria. Hence, planning involves contradictions that are frequently only resolved at the expense of property owners and neighbours. Yet, land development plans and other regional planning regulations may be challenged after all. Ultimately the supreme constitutional court is called upon to test the conformity of such regulations with legislation and constitutional law. We can handle such issue based on many years of experience.

Administrative Law and Administrative Proceedings
Indeed in all administrative fields, the enforcement of subjective rights may depend on choosing the right procedural steps. Therefore, we recommend that you retain a legal advisor already at the outset of an administrative case. One of our main functions is to represent our clients before all public authorities, in environmental impact assessment cases and in proceedings before the administrative court.

Environmental Impact Assessment Law
Regulations on environmental impact assessment are largely determined by Community law. This entails constant changes in legal conditions through amendments or the incorporation of relevant court decisions. Dealing with issues created by the Environmental Impact Assessment Act of 2000 is indispensable with major and particularly infrastructure projects. We will be happy to advise you.

Architectural Law
The law governing free professions such as physicians, attorneys, pharmacists or architects is characterised by obligatory membership in professional chambers in Austria. In the context of harmonizing legislation with the law of the European Union there is a need for legal counselling; besides the services provided by professional representative bodies.

Pharmacy Law
The authorization procedure for new public pharmacies in connection with the prerequisites of the requirement assessment procedure laid down in the Pharmacy Act is subject to constant change, and not just in relation to physicians with in-house pharmacies, thanks to the established case law of higher courts. We offer extensive legal assistance in all cases involving pharmacy law.

European Law
Community law regulations have extensively modified the Austrian legal system in recent years. An ever increasing number of factual conditions have to be reviewed as to whether they are compatible with European law. We assist in preliminary ruling cases as well as in all proceedings before the ECJ and the Court of First Instance, the Council of the European Union and the Commission of the European Communities.

Constitutional Law and the Protection of Constitutional Rights
Constitutionally guaranteed rights are an essential component of our federal constitution. These rights can be violated in connection with their implementation as well as in legislation. The enforcement of such rights very frequently depends on meeting formal prerequisites. We will be happy to assist you in legislative review proceedings, appeals on decisions to the constitutional court, individual motions and optional challenges as well as in proceedings before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

Real Estate and Property Law
This complex legal field that involves many form requirements and peculiarities in legal implementation requires conscientious counselling. Since costly assets are regularly also being moved, detailed advice is necessary so you can minimize potential major risks in these transactions. Whether you wish to buy or sell an undeveloped tract of land, a one-family house, a modern or older apartment or even an entire bloc of rental flats, we offer you hazard-free execution of your transaction using our modern office equipment (in-house calculation of real estate purchase tax, computerized land register enquiries) as well as safeguarding of funds held in trust thanks to our electronic attorneys’ trust account ledger. The latter ensures that control can only be exercised after clearance has been granted by the Vienna Bar Association. More information in German about the attorneys’ trust account ledger can be found at the Bar Association’s website at www.rakwien.at – Serviceeinrichtungen/Elektronisches Anwaltliches Treuhandbuch.

Property Developer Law
The development of commercial and residential property requires property developers to show a high degree of liquidity. Only with a forward-looking contract structure may such deals be carried out responsibly; in this context, particular focus will be placed on the required securities to be provided to the buyers. We will be happy to advise you comprehensively, from the purchase of the property to comparative price-setting and rebuilding up to and including delivery.

Construction Law Suits
Who has actually commissioned a construction service? Which (sub)contractor has actually rendered the service and who is ultimately (including in case of insolvency) responsible for damages and defects? Setting up a construction project very frequently entails disputes. Should an out-of-court settlement not be attainable, we have many years of experience in this area.

Contract Preparation
Whether you want to sign a lease, a real estate property contract, a partnership agreement, a last will and testament or a prenuptial property agreement, we will advise you in advance on the various different options and will work together with you to produce a contract tailored to your needs.
