Banking on expertise

The banking and finance sector is among the most strictly regulated industries. We advise clients on all issues ranging from obtaining a banking licence to the drafting of loan agreements and litigation.

One key element of our regulatory practice is in the establishment of banks and financial services institutions including branch offices of foreign banks and financial institutions as well as the obtaining and extension of required licenses. In addition, we advise banks with regard to their regulatory compliance obligations.

Our financing experts advise on acquisition financing including collateral arrangements of all types including the drafting of all relevant loan, security and pool agreements.

Clients include public savings banks, German and international banks, financial and payment service providers as well as other companies in the financial services sector.

We also litigate and support the successful implementation of in- and out-of-court settlements.

In addition, we also advise insurance companies on a variety of issues such as, e.g., transactional advice, regulatory matters and litigation. In addition to advising insurers, we also advise commercial clients of insurers.
