Völkl Attorneys Bolsters Team with Corporate Liability Expert Sixtus-Ferdinand Kraus
Völkl Attorneys at Law has strengthened its corporate and liability law team with the arrival of Sixtus-Ferdinand Kraus. The firm, known for handling high-stakes liability cases, sees this move as a strategic response to rising demand in director accountability and insolvency-related disputes. Kraus brings a mix of academic expertise and practical experience to the role. Kraus has been a licensed attorney since 2019, with a professional background that includes roles at Torggler and CMS law firms. He also served as a university professor at the Institute for Civil Law at Johannes Kepler University Linz. His academic credentials include a postdoctoral qualification in corporate and civil law from the University of Vienna.
The firm specialises in liability cases for corporations, executives, and insurers—a field where demand has grown sharply. Recent corporate insolvencies have increased the need for advice on director and officer liability, as well as advisor accountability. Völkl Attorneys has focused on this area for decades, and Kraus's arrival reinforces its position. Clemens Völkl, the firm's name partner, highlighted Kraus's strengths as a legal expert. He described him as someone who combines academic rigour with a deep understanding of business challenges. Kraus's expertise in corporate and commercial private law is expected to further enhance the firm's advisory capabilities.
The appointment comes as Völkl Attorneys looks to meet the growing complexity of liability disputes. Kraus's background in both practice and academia positions him to handle high-profile cases for the firm. His addition expands the team's ability to advise on corporate governance and insolvency-related legal risks.
