With around 140 highly qualified employees, fwp is one of Austria's leading law firms in the field of commercial law. M&A issues, banking law & financing, corporate law, real estate, competition and public procurement law, reorganizations and restructurings are among the main areas of advice.

fwp supports Austrian and international companies as well as the public sector. The service portfolio ranges from company formations to the handling of major projects. Our advisory approach is characterized by in-depth economic understanding and an entrepreneurial approach: our lawyers work at the highest international level and, in addition to their legal expertise, also have in-depth additional training.

A significant proportion of fwp's advice also covers cross-border matters, for which we can draw on our network of excellent local law firms in almost all countries.

fwp focuses on the needs of its employees. With flexible working arrangements, the fwp.TEAM can develop its full potential without being tied to rigid models. Thanks to the different working models, our employees can determine their own working hours within certain framework conditions, regardless of their career level or field of activity, and thus optimally adapt to their personal work-life balance. 

We are set up in teams that cover specific areas of specialization. You will receive very broad training with us, so that you are well prepared for the legal profession and also gain a great head start for the bar exam. We often work across teams, giving you the opportunity to get to know many interesting areas of law and deepen your legal knowledge.

Yes, you will be involved in client contact from the very beginning. This is the only way to learn the profession of a lawyer from the ground up and to build and maintain relationships with clients.

We are always on the lookout for committed students who would like to get to know the legal profession as part of an internship. We often take on interns as associates after they have completed their studies if they show a high level of commitment and performance.

A quick degree in law or business law with good grades arouses our interest. In addition, a second degree - e.g. business administration - catches our eye even more. A doctorate, LL.M. or experience abroad sets applicants apart from the average. However, personality is very important to us, i.e. social skills, commitment and appearance.

If the documents appeal to us, we call our applicants at short notice to discuss the general conditions and mutual expectations. If it suits both sides, we invite the potential employee to an initial interview. This takes place with one of our partners and our HR manager. In the best case scenario, we will get back to you very quickly with an offer.
