Zeiner & Zeiner is one of the oldest law firms of Vienna, founded in 1875.  After the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, Zeiner & Zeiner quickly set up a second office in Prague in the Czech Republic. In 1996 when the office for Harmonization in the Internal Market opened in Alicante, Spain, Zeiner & Zeiner, created a small specialized office in Alicante, which deals mainly with Community Trade Marks and Community Designs.

Zeiner & Zeiner v.o.s. provides our mainly corporate clients with access to well trained Czech advocates operating in association with experienced international lawyers, all of whom have ready access to the extensive experience and resources of the non-resident partners and their offices in Vienna, Alicante and Tel Aviv. The working languages of the office are Czech, English, Russian and German.

The firm and its Czech advocates advise and practice primarily in the areas of international commercial transactions, company and commercial matters, intellectual property protection and enforcement, unfair competition, cartels and real estate. 

The firm has been designated the revisers of the Czech Republic law digest for the Martindale Hubbell Legal Directory and is a contributor to the INTA International Review of Trademark Jurisprudence.

Long-standing client relationships are a good measure of a firm’s success in meeting the needs of a client for legal services. We pride ourselves in developing continuing relationships with clients and counsel that are productive, professional and collegial. We do, however, consider our client relationships as confidential and therefore do not publicly present details of specific transactions as well as the name of our clients.

Zeiner & Zeiner has always been and intends to remain an independent firm and has slowly grown to its present size by lawyers, who in most cases started in the office and remained as partners. The firm works on an international basis with a large network of long established relationships with law firms.
