Focus on fake invoices- criminal consequences, background information, and preventive measures
Philipp Wurm, 29.10.2025
Fake invoices are a serious problem in the business world. Their creation and use are not only economically damaging, but also have criminal consequences. This makes it all the more important to take effective preventive measures that counteract the creation and use of such invoices at an early stage. A functioning compliance structure that identifies and minimizes risks in a timely manner and thus also prevents criminal liability on the part of the company is of central importance in this context. This article deals with both the criminal consequences of using fake invoices and suitable strategies for their effective prevention and avoidance.
Mag. Philipp Wurm, MBA: From law firm to Bro-ject W with creativity
A bold career change from traditional Criminal Law to a multimedia and internationally renowned creative project is unusual - yet Philipp Wurm, MBA, took this step. His résumé shows that legal expertise and artistic ambition need not be mutually exclusive. He has already demonstrated his artistic ability in the past with numerous beatbox performances, including collaborations with world-class beatboxers from the USA. Most recently, he also appeared in a supporting role on TV. Instead, it was precisely this combination that became the foundation for an international project that opens up new avenues between the legal profession, art, the world, and teamwork.
Bro-ject W – Vision beyond the legal system
The professional career of Philipp Wurm, MBA, began with a traditional legal education: the lawyer completed his year of legal training in Voitsberg and Graz, gained experience in established law firms, and specialized early on in Criminal Defense and White Collar Crime. But behind these traditional stages, there was always a creative streak. From the stage as a beatboxer and lawyer in courtrooms, Wurm - inspired by influential mentors such as former judge Helmut Wlasak - found his way to artistic boundary-pushing. The creation of Bro-ject W was less a planned career move than a logical consequence of curiosity, versatility, and passionate networking.
From the courtroom to the creative network:
The beginnings of Bro-ject W
With Bro-ject W, Philipp Wurm, MBA, created a project that goes far beyond conventional legal practice. The creative fusion of art, beatboxing, hip-hop, and social narratives positions itself as an international network. The court is not only perceived as a stage for clients, but art and reality merge-acting, book authorship, and the so-called “Third Eye” perspective flow into the vision. The book actually came about by chance and a crazy time together, and was created not only by Wurm himself, but by many other people – famous or not, from America or Europe – who brought even more focus to what was already known. The book is partly true and is reflected in certain patterns, so that many people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, can identify with it. Therefore, it can also be considered a masterpiece.
In addition, international trends were created that reached as far as Hollywood – through games that are only recognizable in detail to those quietly involved. This is precisely why it is particularly appealing to those who are truly familiar with all the background information. The goal is to create a film adaptation with international flair and to establish the PW Attorneys brand in popular discourse beyond the legal sphere. Pop culture, from soccer to music, is being used specifically as a multiplier, expanding the project toward Hollywood and politics.
Resilience and team spirit as the basis for creative breakthroughs
Behind the complexity of Bro-ject W lies a clear mindset: perseverance and team spirit. Wurm speaks openly about the challenges of major negotiations and complex mandates. His approach is to recognize strengths, never give up, and work together as a team to overcome even the biggest hurdles. This attitude carries over into the creative project-many participants are involved in the design process, and the network is growing organically. Classic prejudices against the industry (such as the focus on money or cool detachment) are consciously questioned and replaced with authenticity, honesty, and accessibility. The result is a collective that focuses on socially relevant content without falling into common clichés.
Pop culture and legal expertise:
A project with international appeal
Bro-ject W draws its appeal from the intersection of pop culture and legal credibility. It has also made an international impact, reaching as far as America, and is much more powerful than many people can even imagine. Numerous media outlets, from Radio Grün Weiß to international platforms, have already covered the project. The strategic use of international networks, both in the hip-hop, celebrity, and soccer scenes, gives Bro-ject W additional resonance. Last but not least, Wurm remains visible as a criminal defense attorney-his law firm PW Attorneys continues to stand for expertise in Criminal Law and White Collar Crime, which provides the anchor to reality in the current project. The creative ambition remains clear: the project sees itself as a collective story universe that deliberately plays with perceptions, myths, and social trends.
Outlook:
Between cinematic vision and social relevance
The long-term focus is clear: the planned film adaptation of Bro-ject W and the planned international expansion show that a modern narrative is emerging here that combines traditional disciplines. In the book, Wurm already hints at which international film studio he would like to see involved in the project-a studio that has a presence in both Vienna and Hollywood. He is also toying with the idea of taking on the lead role himself – no wonder he recently appeared on Austrian TV, including Servus TV. So the journey continues. Whether Hollywood, pop culture, or social discourse – Philipp Wurm knows how to build bridges without committing to specific forms of advertising or revealing too much. Anyone who wants to know what is reality and what remains myth will follow the project – the next level of art, law, and international networking is already in the works.

Who is Philipp Wurm, MBA – initiator of Bro-ject W?
Mag. Philipp Wurm, MBA, is much more than a traditional Criminal Defense attorney-his career, his work, and especially Bro-ject W offer insights into a multifaceted personality who seeks new paths between law, art, pop culture, and social engagement. Early experiences in the courtroom shaped his somewhat unconventional career path, which today combines international projects, books, and a consistent crossing of disciplinary boundaries.
Imprints between court and creativity
Philipp Wurm's career began with a traditional year in court, which took him to various locations in Styria and finally to Vienna. His time with Helmut Wlasak, a judge who sparked Wurm's enthusiasm for criminal law, was particularly formative. These influences continue to have an effect today, even though his path has strayed from the beaten track. Not least, the combination of all-round law firms in Graz and highly specialized practices in Vienna laid the foundation for the diverse projects that Wurm pursues today. All of this ultimately gave rise to the ambitious Bro-ject W, whose appeal extends far beyond the legal profession.
Art, Stage, and Bro-ject – a multidisciplinary approach
With Bro-ject W, Wurm goes far beyond conventional notions of a lawyer. In addition to his role as a criminal defense attorney, he uses theater, beatboxing, hip-hop, soccer, and literature to reflect on social issues and connect people. Originally fascinated by the fire department and acting as a child, Wurm now brings his own experiences from the courtroom into a creative context, both on stage and in books. His success as an author (“Bro-ject W”) and his unusual stage performances show that law, pop culture, and social issues can be effectively interwoven.
Bro-ject W as a reflection of modern society
The concept behind Bro-ject W combines the desire to expose social taboos with the aim of telling stories that give equal weight to both dark and humorous aspects. The aim is to use the project's diversity of voices to reach people from various scenes – from soccer to music to politics. Elements such as the third eye or references to pop culture illustrate how Bro-ject W is intended to become a collective global project. Wurm does not see himself as a lone warrior, but as a catalyst in an open creative network that invites participation.
The project came about by chance and through a fascinating period of collaboration, and was created not only by Wurm himself, but by many other people – famous or not, from America or Europe – who brought even more focus to what was already known. The book is partly true and reflects certain patterns, so that many people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, can identify with it. Therefore, it can also be considered a masterpiece.
In addition, international trends were created that reached as far as Hollywood – through games that are only recognizable in detail to those quietly involved. This is precisely why it is particularly appealing to those who are truly familiar with all the background information.
Ethical standards and tangible everyday life
Transparency, honesty, and a fundamentally creative approach characterize the everyday life of Philipp Wurm, MBA. His entrepreneurial and artistic activities are equally focused on community and personal growth. Major mandates, but also acquittals, which Wurm has been privileged to accompany, confirm a fundamental attitude: persevere, believe in the team and in your own mission. This approach is reflected in his constant availability and respectful treatment of clients – without resorting to sensationalism.
Outlook:
