Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, 30 January 2026 – On 1 February 2026, Renate Prinz, joining from McDermott Will & Schulte LLP, will become an Equity Partner at Annerton Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH. Together with Sebastian Glaab, she will lead Annerton’s Frankfurt office. “I am very much

looking forward to helping shape Annerton’s future as an Equity Partner, further strengthening our standing in the market, and expanding our range of advisory services in the banking and financial sector,” Prinz explains.

“We are very proud to have been able to attract a top-tier banking regulatory expert like Renate Prinz to our boutique,” emphasizes Frank Müller, LL.M., founding partner and managing director of Annerton. “With her extensive leadership experience, she will help us further expand our office in

the financial hub of Frankfurt. In addition, her international network complements ours extremely well and will further increase our visibility in the Anglo-American market,” Müller adds.

of investment firms. Prior to joining Annerton, she spent many years at the international law firms Linklaters LLP and McDermott Will & Schulte LLP in the areas of Corporate, M&A and Financial Regulatory. There, she advised banks, financial services providers and other regulated companies on

complex transformation projects, M&A transactions, licensing and qualifying holdings procedures, Brexit, deposit guarantee schemes, and fundamental regulatory matters. Clients value her ability to view regulatory requirements not merely as compliance obligations, but as a flexible element of their

business strategy.

Particularly in the area of financial market regulation, experience and industry knowledge are essential. This is where I see Annerton as especially well positioned,” Prinz explains,

adding: “Annerton is also highly agile, modern and flexible. I believe it is crucial not only to keep pace with digital and technological developments, but to continue growing with them. Annerton has the greatest potential for this.”
