Banking and Finance

The existing trend toward modern forms of banking, such as electronic banking and online brokerage, creates new legal domains as well as grey zones which need to be addressed by banks and their customers. We advise financial institutions, their customers and investors in a multitude of legal banking questions, including:

• the financing of private and commercial property and capital goods;
• forms of credit security such as guarantees, real estate mortgages etc.;
• private loans and overdraft agreements;
• debt rescheduling and loans for re-capitalisation;
• realization of securities;
• instruments of liquidity planning, such as factoring and leasing;
• securities trade, online banking, and online brokerage.

Banking Law is an extensive legal field, ranging from the loan and deposit business to Capital Market Law, where complex business relationships and forms of contract abound. Entire industries are now governed by special legislation which has emerged more recently. Our professional support in this field will help clients to keep abreast of these developments.
