Banks and Financial Services Providers

Large domestic and international commercial and private banks, investment firms, payment services providers, rating agencies and insurance undertakings rely on our expertise, as do FinTechs and neobanks. We also advise numerous domestic and international investment management companies and investment funds. In addition, we are frequently instructed by stock exchanges, cooperative banks, state banks, savings banks and other institutions from the public-law sector.

Our services cover the full range of banking, securities, lending and capital markets law, including banking, payment services and insurance supervisory law as well as investment law. Beyond comprehensive transactional and regulatory advice, a key area of our work lies in contentious matters – both between banks and financial services providers themselves and between such institutions and third parties or supervisory authorities. We are instructed in complex individual proceedings, in the management of model and mass litigation, and in restructuring situations.

Our clients value not only our technical expertise, but also our deep understanding of market practice and current developments, particularly in the regulatory environment. We are regularly involved as experts in legislative initiatives and consultations.
