Recommended lawyer – Employment: One client states: "The way in which he formulates his arguments makes them feel rock solid and it makes me so confident in his representation," adding: "He has really been a key element in negotiations and I don't think we would have had the result without him."

Walter Pöschl has been advising national and international companies on all aspects of individual and collective labour law for over 20 years. He specialises in contentious employment law, temporary employment and alternative contractual arrangements (freelance work, contracts for work and services, etc.). He also deals with special issues such as the law on strikes and the impact of artificial intelligence on the employment relationship.

Clients also appreciate the experienced lawyer's special know-how in the area of remuneration systems in banks or social security law. In addition to Vienna, Walter also works from our office in Klagenfurt.
