History
Marxer & Partner Rechtsanwälte headquarters in Vaduz
The firm was founded in June 1925 by Ludwig Marxer. During the 1930s it looked after almost half of all foreigners who had naturalized in Liechtenstein, many of whom were Jewish.[2] Due to this and a number of the firm's business partners also being Jewish, the firm became a target for attacks from German National Movement in Liechtenstein, a Nazi party in Liechtenstein. In 1940 the firm was the subject of a bombing attack. However, in 1943 the firm was placed under a trade embargo by the United Kingdom due to its cooperation with individuals associated with the war industry of Nazi Germany.[3]
The firm remained small in size throughout Ludwig Marxer's life, with only seven employees in 1955.[2] After his death in 1962 the firm was taken over by his son Peter Marxer, along with partners Adulf Peter Goop and Walter Kieber.[4]
Peter Marxer (the son of the previous Peter Marxer), Peter Goop and Herbert Oberhuber and they are the current heads.[5]
