Banking & Regulation Department Overview

The lindenpartners' Banking & Regulation practice supports financial institutions, fintechs and market participants operating in complex regulatory environments. The Berlin based team combines deep expertise in banking, capital markets and fintech regulation with a forward-looking understanding of digital finance, data protection and AI-driven business models.

The practice advises on all aspects of financial supervision, including

  • licensing and compliance under KWG, ZAG and MiFID II,
  • prudential and conduct of business requirements,
  • digital payment and e-money services, shareholder control and fit & proper procedures,
  • cross-border regulatory and data privacy issues.

The team is particularly well known for both its pioneering work at the interface of financial regulation, technology and digitalization, including AI-based scoring, and assisting banks with the implementation of European banking regulation (CRD/CRR).

Representative clients include Deutscher Sparkassen- und Giroverband (DSGV), Bundesverband der Deutschen Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken (BVR), Donner & Reuschel, Raisin, LIQID, Mizuho Bank Europe, Payone, and Deutsche WertpapierService Bank.

Led by Dr. Lars Röh and Dr. Frank Zingel, the team is valued for its precise, pragmatic and business-oriented advice, its strong ties to the fintech ecosystem, and its ability to guide established institutions and innovative market entrants through evolving regulatory landscapes.
