In addition to our core activities as criminal defense attorneys and criminal law consultants, we also work as lecturers. In lectures and training courses, we impart both basic criminal law knowledge and specialized knowledge on individual matters.
Our lecturing and training activities ensure that we do not lose sight of the basics and that we are always up to date with the latest developments in criminal law. This area of activity therefore completes our orientation as a specialized law firm for criminal law and ensures the high quality of our work.
Employee training
The complexity and intricacy of criminal law pitfalls are difficult to grasp. Criminal law issues often arise in areas that are considered “safe” and “unproblematic”. In particular, a lack of awareness of the issue is often the background and (co-)cause for criminal cases. Preventive (employee) training ensures that awareness of criminal risks and possible responsibilities is created.
This not only gives individuals the necessary awareness of the issue, but also security in the performance of their tasks. For companies and associations, employee training is not only necessary from a preventive point of view. Rather, they represent one of the cornerstones of a proper and diligent organization and can ultimately be decisive in the criminal liability of an association.
Lectures
In the context of lectures, we deal with both the basics of criminal law and special topics and specific individual cases. Our target group ranges from students to judges, public prosecutors and experts. We always strive to inspire our audience and impart knowledge through innovative presentation techniques and practical topic preparation.
With our extensive network of subject-matter experts, we are also able to design cross-disciplinary lectures and provide the right lecture team for you.

Since January 1, 2006, legal entities and partnerships (i.e. companies or associations) can be held criminally liable under Austrian law, in addition to natural persons/individuals. Accordingly, companies or associations can be subject to criminal prosecution – just like natural persons/individuals. The specific regulations regarding the criminal liability of companies or associations can be found in the Corporate Criminal Liability Act.

The criminal laws refer to these affected persons as “victims”. In order to be able to enforce one’s own rights and claims as a victim in criminal proceedings, a so-called private party joinder is required.
