Banking and capital markets law
We will be pleased to advise you in this constantly changing area of law.
Advice on banking and capital markets law for Hamburg and the Hamburg Metropolitan Area.
Hardly any other area of law is undergoing such dynamic change as banking and capital markets law. European and national legislation, supervisory requirements and advancing digitalisation present credit institutions, financial services providers, companies and consumers alike with new legal challenges.
Our advice ranges from drafting and reviewing banking contract relationships to regulatory issues. We advise and represent credit institutions, financial services providers, companies, investors and private individuals out of court as well as before courts and authorities.
Our advisory work does not begin only when a legal dispute arises, but ideally well beforehand.

Frequently asked questions about banking and capital markets law
Answers to the questions our clients ask us most often.
Who do you advise on banking and capital markets law?
We advise and represent credit institutions, financial services providers, companies, investors and private individuals out of court as well as before courts and authorities, from drafting and reviewing banking contract relationships to regulatory issues.
Should credit agreements be reviewed before they are concluded?
Credit agreements should be reviewed before they are concluded and adapted to the individual case so that the agreement fits the project. We review credit agreements for our clients before they are concluded and advise on securing loans, for example by means of land charges, transfers of ownership by way of security or guarantees. We also provide legal support for ongoing credit relationships: reviewing interest statements and interest rate adjustments, assessing termination rights and claims for damages, and advising on early repayment compensation when credit agreements are terminated early.
Do you also advise on factoring, leasing and property development financing?
Yes. We advise our clients on both the structuring and the performance of factoring and leasing agreements and represent their interests out of court and in court. For alternative forms of financing such as bonds, debt securities or mezzanine financing, we draw on the expertise of our colleagues in company and tax law where necessary. For property development projects, we advise purchasers, property developers, investors and lending credit institutions on protecting purchasers' funds under the Ordinance for Brokers and Property Developers (MaBV).
What should we do about unauthorised payments, phishing or card misuse?
Such cases fall under the law governing bank giro agreements and payment transactions: unauthorised payment transactions, online banking fraud and phishing cases, and misuse of girocards, debit cards and credit cards. We advise and represent you out of court as well as before courts and authorities. Feel free to talk to us at an early stage.
