According to Kinstellar, “the Vienna office is a greenfield development, spearheaded by Partner Horst Ebhardt, a renowned Corporate M&A lawyer and one of the most respected names in the CEE market. Horst brings 25 years of experience in private practice, specializing in complex cross-border M&A, privatizations, and restructuring transactions across Austria and the CEE/SEE region.”
