02/29/2024
Vienna, 29 February 2024. Fellner Wratzfeld & Partner (fwp) is growing from within its own ranks: with Mario Burger's admission to the bar the fwp.Team in the areas of Banking & Finance/FinTech has grown by another attorney. And Djordje Djukic will support the Public Business Law team as another attorney with immediate effect.
Even as an associate Mario Burger (35) demonstrated his comprehensive competences in acquisition, project and real estate financing. The legal expert, who has been working for fwp since 2020, also has experience in supporting international and national financial service providers in cross-border financing transactions. Following his admission to the bar he will now support the Banking & Financing and Corporate/M&A teams headed by fwp partner Markus Fellner as an attorney. With Mario Burger on board fwp continues to expand its areas of competence of FinTech, crypto assets and artificial intelligence.
"I am very pleased that the fwp.TEAM has gained another high-profile attorney in Mario Burger. He possesses extensive experiences, including in NPL transactions and large-scale banking supervision cases before the European Court of Justice, which, for example, concern double jeopardy for interest under the Austrian Banking Act [BWG]. His profound legal expertise in the world of banking and finance is complemented by his extensive digital know-how. This combination constitutes additional added value for our clients", says fwp partner Markus Fellner.
Djordje Djukic (31) has worked as an fwp associate in the areas of public business law, building and zoning law, waste law and environmental law since April 2019. Since then the skilled legal expert has supported private enterprises as well as public sector institutions. In future he will support the team headed by fwp partner Michael Hecht as an attorney.
"Djordje Djukic possesses a high level of expertise and has demonstrated the same in recent years in infrastructure projects such as the international FAIRway Danube project in Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania, in construction projects of Graz Airport and in the Donaufeld urban development project in Vienna. We are pleased to now welcome him to the fwp.Team as an admitted lawyer", emphasises fwp partner Michael Hecht.
The admission to the bar of two more attorneys from within fwp's own ranks once again underlines fwp's commitment to recognising and supporting legal talent.
