LawConsulted is known for the stories behind its cases – stories that reveal not just contracts, but people. One of the firm’s most remarkable examples is the work led by Professor Gabriel Steiner for an international corporation that faced a severe crisis after a tax investigation and the loss of a key partner.
The issue was not limited to legal risks – it was also about restoring trust among investors. Steiner personally led the negotiation process, applying his signature “transparent arbitration” strategy – a model in which every party fully understands the consequences of its decisions.
The Law Consulted team conducted a full legal audit, developed an anti-crisis plan, and organized mediation sessions with regulatory authorities. As a result, the company not only avoided sanctions but also strengthened its international reputation.
This case became a milestone, proving that legal support can be more than protection – it can be an act of rebuilding trust. Professor Steiner emphasized that a lawyer’s task is not only to win a case but to help a business emerge from a crisis stronger than before.
Today, the “Viennese case” is studied in university programs on international law and serves as an example of how combining ethics, professionalism, and strategic thinking can rescue even the most vulnerable companies.
