12. Company Profile

LANSKY, GANZGER + partner (LGP) is a Central European law firm bridging

businesses, national and international political institutions. The firm draws on ex-

cellent ties in governmental networks both in Central Asia and within the European

Union and provides clients with the capacity to work across several jurisdictions in a

wide range of fields. Through its offices in Vienna (Austria), Baku (Azerbaijan),

7

Bratislava (Slovakia), as well as numerous partner firms, LGP is represented

throughout Europe and worldwide. As a maverick international law firm beyond loose

networks and franchise systems, LGP focuses on professional experience and

knowledge of local markets in selecting cooperation partners. Meanwhile the firm has

legal experts from the respective target markets working with LGP. These native

speakers from the respective nations serve as multilingual interfaces.

LANSKY, GANZGER + partner (LGP) provides comprehensive consulting in the

business world with a strong focus on the following legal fields: Banking law - capital

market law - constitutional law - competition law - corporate law (including tax law) -

criminal law - employment law - environmental law - EU subsidy law - European law -

general administrative law - M&A - media law - procurement law - real estate law -

telecommunication law - tort law.

LGP advises both private- and public-sector clients in all areas of private and public

law. In addition to representing commercial clients, the firm has celebrated strength in

the public and near-public sector, having carried out numerous mandates in

transportation (aviation, railroads etc.), energy, and communal services. LGP

represents sovereign states in connection with issues of international public law, and

such issues as bringing regulations into EU and other international standards

compliance as well as private and public clients in international arbitration matters.

Unlike many international law firms that establish local regional offices, LGP is one of

few that prefers to associate with strong local partners who proactively use their well-

organized political and business contacts to serve clients in their countries. A recent

example of the strategy: 2009 LGP has built an alliance of independent law firms

covering the entire area of former Yugoslavia (LGP Legal Solutions). Based on this

model the firm finds customized legal solutions for every case supported by an

internationally experienced team in Vienna.

LGP is also a member of Euro-Defi/Juris-Defi, the European network of attorneys,

auditors and accountants. Moreover, Gerald Ganzger has been admitted to the Bar

of Bratislava, and Gabriel Lansky to the Bar of Bratislava, Budapest and Brussels,

where he can lobby the European Union on behalf of clients' interests. Gabriel

Lansky's publication on public funding in the European Union has set the standard for

the Austrian subsidy practice.
