Mercer Hole PCAOB Registration
Mercer & Hole is delighted to announce that the firm has been registered under the US’s Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).
As a result of this registration, Mercer & Hole can now act for UK subsidiaries of listed US companies, even when the UK company is a ‘substantial’ part of the group.
The PCAOB is a US private sector, non-profit organisation, created to oversee the auditors of public companies in the US. Its role is to ensure that all US public company audits are undertaken with high standards of quality, independence and ethics. To ensure this, the PCAOB requires all firms involved in such audits to register with them.

Both presentations were well attended and well received.
TAGLaw Firm Best in Austria
Preslmayr Named Best in Austria!!!
Preslmayr Attorneys at Law have won The Client Choice Award 2005. Preslmayr has been ranked by international and national corporate counsels as the best law firm in Austria. The award was hosted by the International Law Office (ILO) London.
These international awards are the first and only to focus on the full spectrum of client service and customer care. This unique approach was reflected in the response to the survey from which the winners were short listed. Over 1,000 corporate counsel provided individual assessments of law firms they had worked with.
The criteria for the award focused on law firms' ability to add real value to their clients' business above and beyond the other players in the market. The firms were assessed on the following criteria: quality of legal advice; value for money; commercial awareness; effective communication; billing transparency; tailored fee structures; depth of team; response time; sharing of expertise; and use of technology.
Preslmayr, of course, is very proud of having been awarded as the one exclusive winner in Austria. We believe that this is also a great achievement for TAGLaw.
