Inheritance, tax and and commercial law aspects must be considered in an interrelated manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In certain scenarios, an Austrian private foundation may be a sensible and useful instrument to achieve these goals, <em>e.g.<\/em>, to avoid the fragmentation of company or other assets. Our team has extensive experience in the field of trust and foundation law. We have successfully established a large number of private foundations for our clients and have been assisting them in all matters for decades. Our work is aimed at assisting in the design and implementation of the ideal business succession plan that best suits each individual client\u2019s objective, establishing and managing private foundations, as well as wealth planning and providing financial security for family members over generations.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"team align-full has-blue-background-color\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <h2 class=\"light\">Contact persons<\/h2>\n\n                <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-6 col-lg-4 col-xl-3 item\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haslinger-nagele.com\/en\/team\/christoph-dupal\/\" title=\"Christoph Dupal\">\n              <div class=\"image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.haslinger-nagele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DupalChristoph_HaslingerNagele-min-804x1206.jpg\" alt=\"Christoph Dupal\">\n              <\/div>\n              <h3>Christoph Dupal<\/h3>\n            <\/a>\n            <p>\n              Partner<br>\n                              <a href=\"tel:+43732784331214\">\n                  +43 732 78 43 31 &#8211;
