From Vienna into 14 countries

Schoenherr was established in 1950 by Austrian lawyer and university professor Fritz Schönherr. Back then, Fritz was heading the legal department of Philips in Austria, and his first office also was located within the Philips building. To meet the increasing demands of his clients, Fritz resigned from his job as head of legal at Philips. Further following clients' needs, Schoenherr expanded into the Central and Eastern European market in the 1990s, becoming one of the first international firms to do so.

Shortly before Austria's accession to the EU, Schoenherr established an office in Brussels, marking the beginning of its expansion. This was followed by unprecedented growth into Central and Eastern Europe, with offices opening in Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Moldova, Türkiye and Montenegro, as well as a second office in Austria (Linz). Additionally, Schoenherr has established country desks for Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Ukraine.
