Schoenherr has invited Christoph Haid, already a partner in the firm’s EU & Competition department, to join the firm’s equity partnership.
Haid’s practice focuses on merger control and cartel proceedings as well as competition law advice throughout CEE, where he also helps guide Schoenherr competition lawyers in their respective jurisdictions in expanding their domestic business. In addition to his competition law practice, he serves as Managing Partner of Schoenherr’s Croatian and Slovenian offices. Haid will become an equity partner as of February 1, 2015, the start of the firm’s financial year.
“During his decade at Schoenherr, Christoph has distinguished himself through his exceptional drive, focus and skills,” said Franz Urlesberger, the head of Schoenherr’s EU & Competition practice. “He not only stands out as a particularly well-versed practitioner in merger control, cartel, and compliance matters, but has also distinguished himself on the basis of his managerial and entrepreneurial abilities, Christoph will continue to play a key role in securing Schoenherr’s standing as one of the premier competition law practices in our region.”
Haid completed his law studies at the University of Innsbruck in 2003 and obtained an LL.M. degree in EU Law in 2005 from the Danube University in Krems. In 2004, Haid joined Schoenherr, and was promoted to Partner in 2012 — then assumed managerial responsibilities for the firm’s offices in Ljubljana and Zagreb. He also spent six months with KWM SJ Berwin’s London office on secondment in 2008. He was admitted to the bar in Austria that same year.
