The Administrative Jurisdiction Amendment 2012 (entry into force: 1 January 2014) created a two-tier administrative jurisdiction in Austria. The decisions of administrative authorities can first be challenged before the administrative courts; for this purpose, an administrative court and two federal administrative courts - the Federal Administrative Court and the Federal Fiscal Court - were established in each federal province ("9+2 model"). Appeals against the decisions of these administrative courts can be lodged with the Administrative Court and/or the Constitutional Court.

What we do: Administrative procedural law – by which we mean both proceedings before administrative authorities as well as proceedings before the administrative courts and the supreme administrative court – is one of our core areas of expertise. Some may win a case without knowing the substantive law; no one wins without mastering procedural law. In our decades of practice, we have handled and mastered every type of administrative procedure. As a result, we are hard to beat before the administrative courts! We know their particularities, the procedural nuances that matter, and the legal strategies that lead to success. Let our wealth of experience work for you.
