Restructuring

For many years, our firm has been recognised as one of Germany’s leading practices in banking and capital markets law. Our banking advisory praxis includes the full spectrum from regulatory matters to private banking and banking-related disputes. In capital markets matters, clients regularly rely on our expertise in market abuse and insider law, prospectus liability, and public takeovers.

We advise domestic and international companies, shareholders and investors on all aspects of corporate law and corporate governance. One of our particular strengths lies in addressing corporate disputes, including directors’ and officers’ liability matters.

Mastering financial regulatory law in its entirety requires not only a solid understanding of the overarching regulatory architecture but also deep expertise across numerous specialised areas. We combine both and provide clients with strategic advice built on many years of experience – enabling them to operate with confidence in an increasingly complex legal environment.

Litigation and arbitration have been core areas of our practice for decades. We have extensive experience representing clients in contentious matters, both before state courts and in domestic and international arbitration proceedings.

Wealth and succession planning – in both lifetime arrangements and post-death succession matters – is a core part of our practice. We advise on corporate successions, estate-driven corporate formations and foundations, and the structuring of wills and gifts, often over several generations. We also act as executors and advise executors. In contentious situations, we represent clients in succession-related disputes before courts and arbitral tribunals.
