About us

We and the others.

Being different. The market for lawyers has grown steadily over the past decades. What consumers might not need is simply... more of the same. Schmelz lawfirm stands out: Our strength does not lie in providing different services, but in providing services differently.

Objective. We provide high-quality services in a relaxed environment. Flexible whenever you need help. Anywhere, no matter where you live. And at attractive, transparent conditions.

Technology. We achieve our goals using advanced technology. Our customers have the opportunity to create common legal documents online via our Contracts platform - around the clock from home. If personal advice is desired, our customers book appointments online and, if desired, are advised via video conference.

Team. Our team is our strength. We rely on young, hungry and highly talented employees, whose development we are happy to support on a legal and entrepreneurial, but also on a personal level.

Cosmopolitan. For us, people count. We are proud to unite employees from different backgrounds and faith under one roof. This gives our clients the opportunity to communicate with our team in various different languages: Bosnian, Croation, Czech, English, German, Russian, Serbian, Slovakian and Turkish.

Our Clients.

Our client base consists of private individuals as well as companies of all sizes: from young families having a marriage contract drawn up to buyers and sellers of houses or apartments, from start-ups to large companies.

Our reference clients include numerous companies, associations and foundations in the profit and non profit area, such as Rosenbauer International AG (a manufacturer of firefighting equipment listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and a world leader in this field), the Austrian branch of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, the Austrian branch of the Heinrich Böll Foundation, the Austrian branch of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation or the Verband der österreichischen Tafeln.

We also represent numerous clients in the medical and pharmaceutical sector, including physicians, the international associations European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology and European Society of Urogenital Radiology, the pharmaceutical company OrphaCare GmbH, and VertretungsNetz (one of the four adult protection associations commissioned by the Austrian Ministry of Justice).

Excellent quality.

It is a bit awkward for us to talk about us - that's why we prefer to let specialized journals, which have formed their own opinion, speak for us:
