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.
