Although Stefan Weber's competitors all concur that he is an outstanding capital markets lawyer, several repeated the phrase "one-man band," when describing his practice. Another said: "Stefan Weber's firm is more or less a boutique firm," while one felt: "It's rather focussed on Stefan Weber than his team."
The reason the recently rebranded firm (the name of which now excludes existing partner Maxl from its title) is yet to break in to the top tier is perhaps best illustrated by a commentator: "I appreciate Mr Weber's expertise but he is, to a certain extent, a one man show. If he's not available, he's not available, there is no fall-back position for the clients."
However despite this lack of depth the quality of Weber's work and connections shines through. "They have recently been doing quite a fair chunk of work where they represent the banks, working as Austrian council," says a competitor, "Stefan Weber has very good connections to the investment banks."
