The ICLA Annual Conference will be held by our US law network partner firm Venable LLP in their *Miami office* from *31th October to 3rd November 2024*.

bmp LEGAL - Representation in a medically complex civil case concerning the fate of a disabled child during the birth process 

Our law firm is representing a hospital and its medical doctors as well as midwives in a very complex and sensitive alleged wrongful birth case. Legal conflicts involving committed medical staff and the fate of a disabled child demand the highest degree of professional ethics and lawyer's expertise and, above all, a neutral and balanced objectivity from the court as well as the court medical experts, which we fight for. This case is closey followed by the media and is subject to considerable public emotion. It is one of the most difficult mandates in the history of our law firm, which demands the full commitment and attention of our bmp-medical team (spring 2024).

WELCOME Max-Benjamin and THANK YOU Valentina

Max Benjamin Ellensohn will join the legal team at bmp LEGAL on 1 June 2024, after Ms Tiefenthaler by the end of May 2024 decided to reorient herself after 4.5 years with us.  Max-Benjamin is already very experienced as a long-standing trainee lawyer and has also already successfully passed the bar exam. We are delighted to welcome him to our dynamic team. Together we should and want to achieve many more goals of the law firm bmp LEGAL and further strengthen it on the legal market in Vorarlberg. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms Tiefenthaler for her commitment and wish her all the best for the future! (June 2024).

#bmp LEGAL - as a member of AWERIAN network of lawyers (www.awerian.eu) - 70th anniversary reception of our German partner law firm Schmitz Knoth Rechtsanwälte in Bonn (2024)

Innovation in tradition. This was the motto under which we were invited to the University Club in Bonn, and it goes without saying that we were delighted to answer this call from our German network colleagues. Together with the French, Spanish and Belgian friends of our AWERIAN lawyers' network, we are looking forward to a great law firm anniversary celebration in a historic setting in Bonn. We are sure that we will once again - through such international get-together of experienced lawywers from all over Europe - gain new impulses and broader perspectives for our legal work in Austria (June 2024).

#bmp LEGAL - Support for the Dental Association as well as for a large number of pain-stricken patients of an unauthorised dentist

Our law firm supports the Vorarlberg Dental Association and a large number of patients in their battle against illegal activities of a dentist who was not authorised to treat dental patients in Austria. In said legal proceedings, which are closely followed by the public media in Austria, we were and are able to contribute our entire expertise in medical law. An exciting task that challenges us all on a daily basis (January 2024).

#bmp LEGAL - Activities in one of the most spectacular white-collar crime cases of recent decades in Vorarlberg

In a spectacular and very complex white-collar crime case, we were able - in close cooperation with a large Viennese law firm - to take on many very exciting agendas for a client and help to consistently prosecute tortfeasors and, above all, to provide legal support for damage compensation (autumn 2023).

#bmp LEGAL - as a member of AUSTRIA LEGAL NETWORK (www.waln.at) - Training Meeting September 2023

As our Lawyers' Cooperation Network (ALN) now consists of 12 law firms throughout Austria (with almost 50 lawyers and trainee lawyers), joint training sessions on various topics of business law are very important in order to share experiences and know-how. The last event took place from 16 - 18 June 2023 in Carinthia (June 2023).

#bmp LEGAL - Lecturing activities in the context of training lessons for young doctors (Vorarlberg Medical Association)

The future of medical law is close to our hearts. Therefore, we gladly accepted the invitation to participate in the important further training of young doctors - within the framework of the Medical Association of Vorarlberg. Participants can look forward to exciting topics and cases, including the division of work in medicine, the protection of patient data and the long-running issue of patient education and consent:

#bmp LEGAL niche groups

The niche groups #bmp LEGAL medical - #bmp LEGAL banking or #bmp LEGAL sports are becoming increasingly popular and our clients are growing in these areas. Our employees have not only acquired special legal know-how, but also many years of practical experience and have learned the profession from scratch. Mag. Tiefenthaler and Dr. Brandauer studied medical law at the University of Innsbruck, Dr. Brandauer even spent many years as a paramedic in medical practice. But we can also put decades of work as a supervisory board member of a larger Vorarlberg bank alongside work in the legal department of international banks on the line for our clients in the #bmp LEGAL banking niche. Even in the sports sector, our employees can demonstrate practical assignments at a high level. We authentically know what our clients are talking about and what they need (November 2022).

#bmp LEGAL (sports)

Our bmp sports team is pleased to provide legal support to the PIONEERS Vorarlberg - as the only professional ice hockey sports team in Vorarlberg in the ICE League. Again, this is exciting work that is fun to do. We wish our client every success in their first professional year in the Austrian Bundesliga (September 2022).

#bmp LEGAL Talks in Town 2022

We invite people we admire to our bmp Marktgasse law office and talk to them. Video podcast will start soon and be published on this homepage (May / June 2022).

#bmp LEGAL (medical)

Our bmp LEGAL medical team was recently allowed to provide legal support to an Italian medical device manufacturer during an activity on the Austrian market. An exciting job that was fun. We wish our customer continued success and, above all, many satisfied users (November 2021).

#Networking with national and international business lawyers

Whereas the visit to an exceptionally stylish event organised by a Viennese public procurement law specialist on 28/29. August 2021 in #Venice had been a private event of a friend, our attendance to the ICLA conference from 15./16. October 2021 in #Dublin will continue with the tradition of intense and informative meetings with international business lawyers from all over Europe. We look forward to personally maintaining national and international contacts with business lawyers in order to be able to ensure the best possible support for our clients, especially in cases with an international legal background (August / October 2021).

#Dr. Michael Brandauer - as notary public (Liechtenstein)

Dr. Brandauer successfully passed the notary public examination in Liechtenstein (end of May 2021) and recently submitted the application for entry in the list of public notaries. Therefore Dr. Michael Brandauer will be able to expand his range of legal services as a notary public in Liechtenstein (presumably as from July 2021 onwards). bmp LEGAL is then able to render one-stop-shop legal services (June 2021).

#COVID-19 easing
