As fwp experiences a steady rise in client numbers, its team has been reinforced by another M&A expert: Maximilian Weiler has been made new junior partner, bringing the number of partners to 17. Only recently, fwp had strengthened its team by welcoming aboard the experienced M&A expert Sebastian Kellermayr.
“We see an increasing demand for an entrepreneurial approach to legal consulting. Clients appreciate our business sense and thorough understanding of economic principles, which guarantee holistic counselling with lasting benefits,” founding partner Markus Fellner explains the fundamental basis of his approach to legal consulting.
Since its foundation in 1999, fwp has grown from initially nine persons to more than 90 employees today, of whom more than 50 are lawyers and lawyers in training. In order to accommodate the growing team, fwp has expanded its premises by a third storey.

As junior partner, Maximilian Weiler (30) will primarily be working in the area of company law with an emphasis on reorganisations and M&A. Another important focus of his work will be Banking & Finance. “Maximilian Weiler has a thorough understanding of complex processes and business contexts. These are important prerequisites for being a successful lawyer,” says partner Markus Fellner, who expects his employees to contribute more than merely legal know-how.
After his law studies, Weiler worked in an accounting firm and a renowned Vienna law firm. Since 2007, he has been a valuable asset in fwp’s team and has distinguished himself in particular in providing legal counsel on M&A transactions.
