Client, Chambers
We are on the cutting edge of domestic and international banking, capital markets, and structured finance – designing innovative structures, supporting first-of-a-kind deals, and working in new markets. And when complex distressed situations emerge, we help lenders and issuers tackle challenges from all angles.
Whether you’re an asset manager, bank, borrower, investor or private credit fund, our business-focused strategies are designed to help you maximize opportunities in a dynamic market.
Inflation, and a sharp rise in interest rates, are keeping the financing market busy, as are not only an array of ever-increasing regulatory requirements, but also high levels of available capital in private equity and private debt arenas, as well as the rise of disruptive technologies in the financial sector. As a result, the environment in which you operate is also changing rapidly. In Germany, as well as in a global context.
In DLA Piper’s German financing group we don’t just follow current developments, we actively shape the market.
We advise a wide range of national and international companies, banks and other financial institutions, private equity and private debt funds, as well as issuers and borrowers on all types of financings. This includes advising on the structuring of financings, as well as on the drafting and negotiation of financing contracts. We also support established and emerging clients with banking and banking supervisory law, fintech, and ESG transactions, issues and projects.
In addition to our internationality and first-class legal expertise, our advice is based on a close cooperation with our colleagues in the areas of corporate law, tax law, energy, real estate, restructuring, and litigation. Our geographically and technically holistic approach allows us to recognize interrelationships and emerging developments early on, so we can develop reliable, innovative solutions to help you succeed.
