Austria

Since autumn 2022, we have been able to offer our labour law expertise to Upper Austrian companies directly at our new CMS Linz office.

Our office has been active in employment law for over 30 years and advises local and international companies on employment law matters.
Our professional expertise includes not only legal representation in disputes, but also comprehensive legal advice on day-to-day operations, starting with individual and collective labour law, employee data protection and European labour law and extending to company pension and social security law. The range of services offered includes negotiating principles for dealing with collective labour groups (trades unions etc.), designing appropriate in-house working time and salary models, creating all the necessary bases under data protection law and preparing templates for contracts and much more.

We see it as our task to guide our clients safely through the thicket of various legislations in a business-oriented way. We make sure you are always up to date on changes in the law in both Austria as well as international markets. 

We look forward to hearing from you, whether by phone or email, and will be happy to take the time to discuss your concerns in detail.

CMS European M&A Study 2024
Frankfurt/Main – CMS has announced the findings of the 16th edition of the CMS European M&A Study 2024, offering an in-depth analysis of the mergers and acquisitions landscape based on transactions CMS advised on. The Study analyses a record 559 deals throughout 2023, indicating the resilience and adaptability of the European M&A market amidst challenging global conditions. The high number of completed deals is testament to CMS’s strength in the market, despite the well-documented general downturn in deal activity across the globe. The 2024 Study reveals key trends in the M&A sector, including a notable shift in deal-making strategies, a rise in ESG due diligence and strategic investments outpacing financial investments. Despite a complex macroeconomic environment, the Study identifies a robust pipeline of deals for 2024, underpinned by a gradual stabilisation in the market, with lower interest rates and lower inflation. Key Findings and Takeaways: Sustained Deal Activity: Despite geopolitical tensions and economic challenges, 2023 witnessed a resilient M&A market, with CMS advising on a record number of deals. This resilience signals a robust appetite for strategic acquisitions and a promising outlook for 2024. Pricing Structures Shift: There was a notable decrease in purchase price adjustments (PPAs) and earn-outs, suggesting a move towards more stable and predictable deal structures. This trend suggests increasing confidence in valuation accuracy and financial stability. However, the reduced use of locked box structures in smaller transactions indicates lingering uncertainty regarding pricing. ESG Still Emerging in Deal Considerations: While specific ESG due diligence has seen an uptick, rising to 47% from last year's 33%, the incorporation of ESG factors into deal structures remains modest. This area is expected to grow as regulatory and reputational pressures increase. Rise in Strategic Investments: The study observed a significant presence of strategic investors both as buyers and sellers, indicating a strategic reshaping of business portfolios in response to evolving market conditions. Risk Allocation: The standard limitation period for operational warranties, although reducing, remains between 12 to 24 months across most transactions, with liability caps below 50% of the purchase price being seen in the majority of cases, maintaining consistency with previous years.W&I Insurance Stability: The utilisation of Warranty & Indemnity insurance in European deals, particularly in the larger transactions, has stayed consistent with 2022 levels, with the UK leading in its use. Geopolitical and Economic Factors: The Study acknowledges the ongoing impact of geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties on deal-making but also points to recovering confidence in the debt markets and potential boosts from election cycles. Louise Wallace, Global Head of the CMS Corporate/M&A Group, said: “The insights from this year's Study not only highlight the resilience of the European M&A market but also point towards interesting and evolving trends that will shape the future of deal-making. Our dedication to providing unparalleled guidance has never been more relevant.”Dr Malte Bruhns, Global Head of the CMS Corporate/M&A Group, added: “Our analysis reveals a market in transformation, adapting to global challenges while identifying new opportunities. This resilience and adaptability underline the strength of our M&A advisory services.” Conclusion: The CMS European M&A Study 2024 underscores an optimistic outlook for M&A activity in Europe in 2024, highlighting resilience amid economic challenges. Key trends indicate a shift towards seller-friendly dynamics and robust deal flow, fuelled by improved market confidence and strategic entry into new markets.
