Bernhard Brandauer is responsible for the legal advice, supported by further specialised lawyers of the firm where the matter requires it.
Where we represent you.
Nine fields of Austrian foundation law that we handle in daily practice, from formation to foundation disputes.
Formation and foundation deed
Setting up with a clear architecture: foundation deed, supplementary deed, governing bodies and asset endowment drafted so the foundation delivers what the founder intended.
Learn more →Founder rights, amendment and revocation
Reserved founder rights secure influence: amending the foundation declaration, revoking the foundation and the limits where several founders are involved or rights have lapsed.
Learn more →Beneficiaries and information rights
Beneficiaries have rights: information about the foundation, inspection of the foundation declaration and remedies when the board blocks or distributions stop.
Learn more →Foundation board and liability
Appointment, removal, remuneration and liability of the foundation board: duties of care, conflicts of interest and responsibility towards the foundation.
Learn more →Advisory board and supervisory bodies
Advisory board, supervisory board and foundation auditor: how further bodies control the foundation, where their powers end and what applies to beneficiary-dominated bodies.
Learn more →Foundation disputes and enforcement
When conflict erupts inside the foundation: removal applications, special audit, disputes over resolutions and court enforcement of claims of all parties involved.
Learn more →Dissolution and liquidation
From the dissolution resolution to deletion from the commercial register: grounds, winding-up, ultimate beneficiaries and distribution of the remaining assets.
Learn more →Family wealth and succession
The foundation as a bracket over family wealth and shareholdings: generational change within the foundation structure, family roles and conflict prevention among beneficiaries.
Learn more →Real estate in the private foundation
Real estate held by the foundation: governance of administration and realisation, use by beneficiaries and typical areas of conflict between bodies and family.
Learn more →Conflict in the foundation, a blocked board, information denied?
