Banking | Finance

We advise and support our clients on all questions of general banking law and banking contract law. We have many years of experience in restructuring, not only in the credit and insurance sector but also in the corporate sector and provide support in all aspects of the various forms of financing, including cash pooling.

We represent our clients in all aspects of financing projects in Austria and abroad. In addition to acquisition, project, asset, private equity, venture capital and mezzanine financing, this also includes cross-border leasing, securitization, and other structured financing. We also provide comprehensive advice in the area of syndicated loan transactions. In such transactions, we call in our colleagues from the international Deloitte Legal network if necessary.

We also have extensive expertise in the field of regulatory law and advise on all regulatory requirements in the financial services sector and advise on the provision of financial services at local and cross-border level. We also offer advice for securities service providers, both regarding the licensing requirement and business operations. We also advise on all issues relating to crypto assets.

We also have many years of experience with numerous investment funds and fund managers, particularly in relation to fund formation and marketing, management and structuring regulations, mergers of funds and fund management companies, reporting, and notification requirements and passporting of UCITS compliant funds, as well as the AIFM Directive and its implementation.

Our day-to-day business also includes advising our clients from a wide range of industries on national and cross-border compliance issues, such as money laundering compliance.

Here we also consider our interdisciplinary know-how, such as on IP/IT and data protection issues, as well as Deloitte’s expertise.
