Wilhelm Bergthaler’s dual role between legal practice and academia

For Bergthaler, the appeal lies in JKU’s unique position:

“You practice law at the forefront of knowledge advancement alongside other disciplines. As a lawyer, you provide answers to fascinating technological and societal questions.”

Wilhelm Bergthaler´s dual role exemplifies how practical legal work and scientific research can mutually enrich one another. His experience at Haslinger / Nagele flows into his university work – and conversely, the firm benefits from scientific findings and interdisciplinary approaches.

As a law firm with strong academic roots, we take pride in our lawyers’ outstanding scholarly contributions. In addition to their daily work for our clients, many of our lawyers also make significant contributions to academic advancement and provide valuable input in their respective areas of expertise. Their expertise feeds into both practice and academia, and this significantly shapes who we are. At our firm, equal opportunity and equity are not just upheld as values – our lawyers embody and shape them every day through their professional judgment and dedication. Together, we are writing legal history – yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
