Her career began in the Austrian judiciary, where from 2004 to 2006 she served as a court clerk at the District Court in Bludenz and the Court of Appeals in Feldkirch. In these roles she worked on a broad range of civil, criminal, and social law cases, gaining early, practical exposure to litigation procedures and judicial decision-making.From 2006 to 2009, she continued to deepen her litigation background as an associate at a leading law firm in Dornbirn, Austria. There, she focused on contentious work across civil, criminal, administrative, and constitutional matters, developing robust courtroom skills and experience with complex multi‑party disputes.In 2010, she moved to Liechtenstein and joined a major Vaduz law firm as an associate. Her work concentrated on banking and capital markets law, foundation law, criminal law, and litigation, marking the start of her long-standing focus on disputes in the financial services sector. This step laid the groundwork for her later specialization in conflicts involving banks, investment structures, and fiduciary setups under Liechtenstein law.Between 2011 and 2018, she served as an associate at Sele Frommelt & Partner Rechtsanwälte AG (Sele Frommelt Attorneys at Law Ltd.) in Vaduz. During this period, she gained extensive litigation experience in the context of banking and capital markets disputes, insurance law conflicts, and white-collar crime cases. Her client base consisted primarily of institutional actors, including banks, insurance companies, and investors, whom she advised and represented in complex court proceedings and contentious regulatory matters. This phase of her career consolidated her profile as a disputes lawyer in high-value financial and commercial cases.In 2019, she founded her own practice, the Law Office Mag. iur. Sabine Fröhlich, which later evolved into Fröhlich Attorneys at Law AG. As managing attorney, she leads a practice that is explicitly oriented toward forensic and litigation work. She advises and represents institutional and private clients in contentious matters under Liechtenstein law, with a concentration on disputes arising in the financial services industry. Her experience covers all stages of dispute resolution, from pre-litigation strategy and negotiation through trial and appellate proceedings, as well as enforcement measures and related ancillary proceedings.SpecialtySabine Fröhlich specializes in dispute resolution with a pronounced focus on the financial services sector. A core part of her practice involves litigating banking and capital markets disputes, including conflicts related to investment products, asset management, fiduciary relationships, and compliance with regulatory standards. She regularly acts for banks, insurance companies, and investors in disputes concerning liability, contract performance, misrepresentation, and other market- and transaction-related controversies.Her dispute resolution work also encompasses litigation in insurance law, where she handles coverage disputes, policy interpretation issues, and liability claims. In the area of white-collar crime, she is involved in contentious matters arising from allegations of financial misconduct, fraud, and related criminal offences, often at the interface between criminal proceedings and civil recovery actions.Beyond strictly financial disputes, her litigation practice extends to a broad spectrum of civil, administrative, and constitutional cases. She has experience representing clients in civil disputes involving contractual and commercial claims, damages and warranty issues, and enforcement (execution) proceedings. In public law disputes, she has dealt with administrative and constitutional litigation, including the protection of civil liberties and challenges to administrative decisions. Her work in these areas supports and complements her financial disputes practice, particularly where regulatory or constitutional aspects are central to the conflict.Within dispute resolution, she is also active in conflicts touching on foundation and trust-related structures under Liechtenstein law, as well as in cases involving industrial property, tenancy, and consumer-related issues where litigation is necessary to protect her clients’ interests. In all these fields, her focus remains on strategic, effective handling of contentious matters, whether before the courts or through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation, where appropriate to the dispute.EducationSabine Fröhlich earned her Magister iuris (Mag. iur.) degree in Law from Leopold‑Franzens‑Universität Innsbruck in 2004, having studied there from 1996 to 2004 with an emphasis on European Union and European Community law. She subsequently completed the Austrian Bar Exam in 2008, qualifying her for practice in Austria, and later passed the Liechtenstein Bar Exam in 2018, confirming her admission and professional standing as an attorney in Liechtenstein. These qualifications underpin her cross‑border perspective on dispute resolution and enable her to navigate contentious matters involving both Austrian and Liechtenstein legal frameworks.
