KWR has been the Business & Legal Partner of First Vienna FC 1894 since the beginning of the 2022/23 season and supports the traditional club with great enthusiasm.
An important partner, rightly and lawfully so
KWR is one of the leading law firms in Austria - the right place to go in all matters relating to business law. KWR enjoys an excellent reputation in construction and real estate law in particular.
"Our USPs are long-standing tradition, constant growth and continuity in terms of people working here. This guarantees our clients personal advice of the highest quality and short response times. Due to the fact that we have been around for almost 20 years, we are also well established in the market and excellently connected," says Gerold Wietrzyk, Founding Partner of KWR.
Success & Business
It was a joint decision of all partners to accompany Vienna FC to the future as a sponsoring partner, and it did not take KWR long to come up with it.
For Jan Philipp Schifko, a KWR Partner specialising in construction and real estate law, it is a special pleasure that the legal experts will actively support the traditional football club in the future: "It is an honour and a pleasure for us to be a partner of First Vienna FC 1894 now.
We are enthusiastic about the club's success story and its sporting and economic advancement. The club also has a every exciting business network. That's why we will be hosting one of Vienna's popular 1894 Business Club events this season."
Women's football: an important factor
As a new partner of the team with the blue and yellow jerseys, KWR has a special focus on women's football. KWR is particularly keen to support team captain Claudia Wasser, goal scorer Sarah Mattner-Trembleau and the other players in the highest division, as well as the strong basis which the club has in its junior players.
Anna Mertinz (KWR partner and head of the employment law team): "We are very pleased that women's football is playing a more significant role every year. It's great that women's football was promoted by Vienna FC when it received less attention elsewhere. It makes us proud to support one of the most successful women's teams in the country. We are all keeping our fingers crossed for the team: may the season’s objectives be met or even exceeded. The start has already been promising!"
Claudia Wasser (First Vienna FC 1894, team captain): "We are very pleased that KWR is supporting Vienna FC as a partner. For us, it's great that it was particularly important for them to become strong supporters of the women's team. A nice way of appreciating our work. We say: Welcome to the Vienna family!"
