Waldeck Rechtsanwälte

WALDECK RECHTSANWÄLTE is a partner-led business law firm dedicated to delivering smart, comprehensive solutions for German and international clients.

We operate at the crossroads of our core practice areas, providing strategic legal advice on high-stakes transactions and projects, both in Germany and abroad, and representing our clients with determination in complex disputes. We work as true partners to entrepreneurs and businesses. Our advice goes beyond the legal framework, taking into account the commercial realities and strategic objectives that drive your decisions. By working in lean, highly experienced, and agile teams, we offer not only cost predictability but also the speed, precision, and creativity needed to achieve decisive results. Where our practice areas intersect, we create synergies that translate directly into added value for our clients.

They appreciate working with a trusted advisor who understands their business, anticipates challenges, and delivers clear, actionable solutions – even in the most critical and demanding situations.

Banking

The relationships between banks, issuers, and investors are intricate – and the underlying structures are in constant flux. Few sectors are as heavily regulated, both nationally and at the European level, as banking and financial services. This complexity has only increased with the rapid evolution of digital finance, fintech innovation, and the regulatory frameworks shaping them, such as the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).

In this environment, technology-driven projects – from large-scale outsourcing and core banking system integration to payment solutions, blockchain platforms, and digital asset infrastructures – require not only technical excellence, but also a rock-solid legal foundation. Strategic IT partnerships, cloud deployments, and compliance with data protection and IT security standards are now inseparable from financial sector regulation.

We guide our clients through this complex, tightly regulated, and increasingly digitalized landscape with deep sector expertise, clear strategic thinking, and a shared commitment to achieving their goals. Our clients include banks, investment firms, fintech companies, and digital asset service providers, as well as investors and issuers. Whether the project involves banking-as-a-service models, system integration, launching a new crypto or securities trading platform or card processing, we provide pragmatic, effective solutions that align with both regulatory requirements and business strategy – enabling innovation without compromising on compliance.

Real estate

We support clients in the construction and real estate sectors in bringing their projects to success – acting as a trusted partner from initial planning through to a successful sale.

With decades of combined experience and a keen understanding of what truly drives value in these industries, we deliver results that matter – not only in landmark projects, but also in the everyday business decisions that keep them running smoothly.

M&A/corporate

We have extensive experience in handling corporate transactions of all sizes and complexities. Our legal and strategic advice supports companies from the manufacturing, trade, and service sectors, as well as domestic and international investors, banks, insurance companies, and public-sector partners.

Our goal is to ensure transactions run smoothly and efficiently. We achieve this by delivering clear, pragmatic solutions that address both the legal and the commercial realities – enabling our clients to move forward with confidence.
