Track record: The banking & finance team is

currently advising the senior bondholders of

HETA on the Austrian law aspects and how

they would affect the BRRD as it is applied

in Europe. The team also was also involved

in financing the participation of TIWAG in

the new hydropower plant by the European

Investment Bank worth $150m that would

support EU energy policy.

Team & differentiation: Known for its stability

and expertise on complex and time sen-

sitive transactions, the practice of Binder

Grösswang has extensive experience in

acquisition financings, project financing and

financing through business development

banks. The firm is also very strong in aircraft

finance/leasing which makes it one of the few

firms in Austria with this capability.
