Banking and Finance

circle light

We have many years of expertise and advise our clients comprehensively in all areas of banking and finance. The primary focus of our advice is always legal feasibility and economic sense.

Our clients include domestic and foreign financial institutions; lenders and borrowers; and companies of all industrial sectors and sizes, including globally operating corporations, insurance companies, investors and public authorities.

A particular focus is advising on disputes in and out of court with a background in banking, regulatory or capital markets law. For instance, we advised and represented clients in major court disputes in connection with the financial crisis.

Our lawyers in the banking and finance team regularly work in tandem with our specialised lawyers from other practice groups. Complex legal issues are thus resolved efficiently and quickly.
