A defining feature of our advisory approach is our partner-led model. Our partners handle your matter directly, develop creative solutions, and are familiar with every detail of your case. As a result, you benefit in particular from our extensive experience, our practical understanding of market expectations, procedural dynamics and risk assessments, and from the long-standing relationships we maintain with supervisory authorities. Working in small, highly qualified teams also allows us to avoid time-consuming internal alignment processes and ensures continuity in the handling of your matter. In this way, we keep the long-term and strategic dimensions in view, even when addressing pressing and complex issues.
All lawyers at Sernetz Schäfer have outstanding academic credentials. Many bring long-standing experience as in-house counsel and in the management of banks and corporations, from international law firms, as well as academic and professional experience abroad. This enables us to approach our clients’ matters from multiple perspectives.
We have also been working with legal-tech solutions for many years. We collaborate closely with leading providers to offer modern tools, for example for the efficient management of mass proceedings. By combining long-standing experience with new, creative and efficient approaches, we are able to address all aspects of your matter in the best possible way.
In our advisory work, it is our ambition to analyse, understand and assess legal issues comprehensively in order to develop the best possible solution for you. For us, this requires engaging with legal questions beyond day-to-day practice and contributing to scholarly debate. Our lawyers publish regularly in leading standard works, act as editors, and contribute to academic journals.
We also give lectures, train boards of directors, managing directors and supervisory board members, and are active in legal education. Our partners teach, among others, at the Universities of Augsburg, Bochum, Cologne, Munich and Passau as well as at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. Several of our partners hold professorships, for example in banking law or private international law.
