In our banking and finance practice we combine transaction work (project finance, real estate and company acquisitions, debt restructuring), with the provision of regulatory advice (including advice on the whole range of regulated financial institutions and the acquisition of banks), and general and specialist advice, as well as representing clients in proceedings before banking and financial supervisory authorities. A thorough understanding of the regulatory environment helps us to provide counsel on transactions and contracts, and knowing the business reality, we are well equipped to communicate with the supervisory authorities.
We are one of the few law firms with a specialised team dedicated to financial services and financial institutions regulatory matters. We advise on a full range of matters of banking activity, leasing, lending, investment, insurance, and payment services, based on national and European regulations (including CRR, MiFID/MiFIR, AIFMD, UCITS, BMR, CSDR and EBA guidelines). For years, we have dealt with complex regulatory projects and proceedings before the PFSA and the Office for Competition and Consumer Protection. We skillfully combine an interdisciplinary approach with in-depth sector-specific knowledge and understanding of the expectations and practices of the regulator.
