Munich, 23 January 2025 – Annerton Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH is proud to welcome Frank Fischer as a new Partner and senior expert in insurance supervisory law. He will lead the growth of the insurance practice within the firm. With extensive experience advising insurers, intermediaries, and investment firms, he complements the firm’s team in Munich, which specialises in regulatory law for the financial services industry.
Frank Fischer brings invaluable expertise from his previous roles as Head of Insurance at Deloitte Legal and as a member of Deloitte’s insurance leadership team in Germany. A practising lawyer for over 20 years, with more than 16 years of experience in the financial sector – both in-house and as an external advisor – he is known for a sector-specific yet cross-disciplinary advisory approach in regulatory law.
Since 1 January 2025, Frank Fischer has been strengthening the Annerton team as a Partner.
“We are thrilled to welcome Frank Fischer to our team. His expertise will play a pivotal role in expanding our advisory portfolio,” says Dr Matthäus Schindele, Founding Partner at Annerton. “Establishing an insurance supervisory law practice is a strategically important step for us, enabling us to advise and comprehensively support clients in another critical sector of the financial industry.”
Commenting on his decision to join Annerton, Frank Fischer says:
“I am inspired by Annerton’s clear focus on financial supervisory law, the high standard of advisory services, and its solution- and team-oriented working style. I look forward to working with the team to develop advisory services in the insurance sector and to position Annerton as a firm that comprehensively meets the regulatory advisory needs of the financial services industry. Our approach and market orientation are an excellent fit, enabling us to competently manage large and international projects.”
The new practice will focus on providing comprehensive advisory services to German and international clients, including primary insurers and reinsurance undertakings, intermediaries, insurtechs, banks, investment firms, and non-financial enterprises. Key areas of focus will include all aspects of insurance supervisory law, with a particular emphasis on governance and compliance, transaction support, the development and adaptation of business models, and assistance with the market entry in Germany. Immediate synergies are also expected in addressing current industry topics such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), artificial intelligence (AI), and anti-money laundering measures.
Annerton is confident that Frank Fischer’s addition as a Partner ideally complements its existing advisory portfolio. With his expertise, the firm extends its established regulatory competence in fintech, payments, and banking to include the insurance and investment sectors. The objective is to create sustainable value in these areas and to ensure comprehensive advisory services for the entire financial services industry.
