JUVE - Handbook Austria 2018/2019 - Banking and Finance Law
"The financing team around Dr. Thomas Boller recently sharpened its profile through the successful OGH procedure on the effects of a negative Libor on flexible interest rate loan agreements, which received media attention. As a result, a number of banks had to change their calculation practice. The trust of international clients is proven by the work for a financial service provider, which bought a German E-Commerce-provider’s claims against Austrian consumers. In addition, the practice group has been a regular contact for renowned international banks and law firms, also from overseas, for medium to large-volume financing."
