fwp adds valuable competence and expertise to its team by promoting Elisabeth Fischer-Schwarz to junior partner.

“Once again, it is in-house talent development that contributes to the quality of our performance – Dr. Fischer-Schwarz, a long-serving associate, has proven her worth as an attorney-at-law after having successfully passed her exam and being admitted to the Austrian bar association”, explains founding partner Markus Fellner.
