Mag. Georg Streit

Managing partner

The jokes about the relation between his name (which means "quarrel") and his profession are not exactly new. Still: Yes, if needed, he will fight! Even though he knows how to avoid conflict when it in the interest of his clients. This is down to his comprehensive expertise and legal knowledge. Even his partners are continually amazed by his ability to quickly familiarise himself with complicated materials.
