Hogan Lovells International LLP is best known for assisting banks, state-related lenders and, although to a lesser extent, corporate clients with debt issuances, the updating of debt issuances and commercial paper programs as well as related capital markets transactions; here, Jochen Seitz (capital markets and financial regulatory law) is regularly in charge. The team’s advice recently particularly focused on green and sustainable bonds as well as related requirements of the EU Sustainable Finance Regulation and taxonomies.

Hogan Lovells International LLP ist insbesondere für die Unterstützung von Banken und staatsnahen Kreditinstituten sowie zu einem geringeren Anteil von Corporates bei Anleiheemissionen, der Aktualisierung von Debt Issuance- und Commercial Paper-Programmen als auch für die Begleitung von Kapitalmarkttransaktionen unter diesen Programmen bekannt. Hier findet man regelmäßig Jochen Seitz (Kapitalmarkt- und Finanzaufsichtsrecht) an der Federführung. Während des Berichtszeitraums legte man innerhalb dieses Beratungssegments einen besonderen Schwerpunkt auf grüne und nachhaltige Anleihen sowie die damit zusammenhängenden Anforderungen der EU-Verordnung für nachhaltige Finanzierungen und Taxonomien. Mit Sina Hekmat (neben Frankfurt auch von New York aus tätig) ist man außerdem für Mandate mit US-Bezug gut aufgestellt. Sven Brandt (DCM und strukturierte Finanzierungen) leitet das Team.
