DORDA is an Austrian business law firm founded in Vienna by Christian Dorda in 1976. It provides legal advisory services across 25 specialist practice areas, among them corporate law, banking and finance, employment law, intellectual property, data protection, litigation, arbitration, real estate, tax law and mergers and acquisitions. Dedicated industry groups cover digital industries, construction and infrastructure, health and life sciences, mobility, energy, start-ups and sustainability. The firm's clients include Austrian businesses, international groups and start-ups, and its stated approach emphasises clarity, precise and proactive advice and short response times.
International work is handled through the Best Friends Network, an association of independent law firms rather than DORDA-owned foreign offices, which brings more than 400 lawyers to cross-border mandates. DORDA's base is in Vienna, with work extending internationally through this network.
For lawyers, the firm offers a modern working environment with flexible hours, home-office options and part-time models. Training opportunities and examination leave are provided, alongside public transport tickets and team events.
