Banking & Capital Markets Law

In banking law, we advise on every aspect of the credit industry, from classic loan agreements and credit security through to complex financing structures and syndications. Particularly in the area of banking regulation, we support the implementation of CRR/CRD IV, SREP procedures and SSM requirements. The digitisation of payments, PSD2 compliance and open banking are as much in focus as anti-money-laundering provisions and sanctions law.

Capital markets law calls for the highest precision in structuring securities issuances, drafting prospectuses and obtaining a stock-exchange listing. We accompany companies through IPOs, capital increases and other capital-markets transactions and ensure compliance with transparency and ad-hoc disclosure obligations. Where market manipulation or insider trading is suspected, we represent clients in BaFin proceedings as well as in civil disputes.

We advise FinTech companies and innovative financial-services providers from business-model development through to BaFin licensing. Whether robo-advisory, crowd-investing, payment services or cryptocurrencies, we develop regulatory-compliant solutions for new business ideas. In doing so, we also take into account international developments such as MiCA, DORA and the EU Digital Finance Package.

Our lawyer Torben Fuchs has comprehensive expertise in banking and capital markets law and specialises in the legal aspects of the FinTech sector and digital financial services. He combines regulatory expertise with practical experience and develops tailor-made solutions for the challenges of the digital financial market.
