Schoenherr has promoted employment law expert Stefan Kuhteubl to Equity Partner, effective as of February 1, 2017.
According to Schoenherr, Kuhteubl advises clients in employment-related legal matters, including legal disputes, ongoing out-of-court advisory of employers, preparation of expert reports and work contracts, as well as the counseling and representation of company executives and board members. He has lead the labor and employment law practice group at Schoenherr since 2014.
"Under the leadership of Stefan Kuhteubl, the labor law practice has developed remarkably in the last two years," commented Schoenherr Managing Partner Christoph Lindinger. "We are thrilled that such an excellent, strategic lawyer is joining the group of equity partners."
Kuhteubl completed his doctoral studies in law at the University of Vienna in 2004. Between 1999 and 2004 he was a member of the Schoenherr labor practice group before joining Engelbrecht & Partner, a labor-focused boutique law firm in Vienna, where he became Partner in 2008. In 2014 he returned to Schoenherr as a Contract Partner.
Along with the Employment Law Institute of the University of Vienna, Kuhteubl co-organizes the Wiener Oktobergesprache – a leading annual gathering of employment law practitioners in Austria.
The announcement of Kuhteubls's promotion comes on the heels of Schoenherr's November announcement that firm energy expert Bernd Rajal will also be promoted to Equity Partner on February 1 of next year (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on November 3, 2016).
