CHSH Cerha Hempel Spiegelfeld Hlawati leverages off its corporate team to advise on tax issues related to restructuring and financing transactions among others. Clemens Hasenauer and Johannes Prinz led a team that advised Wiener Börse Central, an Austrian gas hub operator, on stamp duty matters relating to the establishment of a new gas exchange.

The team at CHSH has a strong record in international reorganisations, private equity taxation, international tax structures and inbound restructuring work. The lawyers recently advised Swiss energy company ALPIQ on the tax implications of a cross-border merger of its Austrian subsidiary with a Czech company. Other clients include Credit Suisse, JAXX AG and Zürcher Kantonalbank. Johannes Prinz heads the tax group and is considered a “key figure at the firm." He is active in corporate tax, international tax, group taxation and corporate reorganisations. Clemens Hasenauer is an expert in M&A-related taxation and has broad experience of international tax matters, sources say.
