Deutschland > Kapitalmarkt > DCM
(Führende Partner)White & Case LLPs kombinierte deutsche, englische und US-rechtliche Kapitalmarktrechtsexpertise wird neben Investmentbanken auch verstärkt von Emittenten in Anspruch genommen, die zudem von den praxisübergreifenden Kapazitäten des Teams profitieren. Vor allem die im Frankfurter Büro präsente US-rechtliche Expertise bedingt die starke Präsenz des Teams im High-Yield-Bereich, der von Rebecca Emory angeführt wird. An der Federführung klassischer Fremdkapitaltransaktionen steht zumeist Karsten Wöckener (zudem Head of Germany); darunter befanden sich zuletzt einige Green Bonds und mit digitalen Vermögenswerten besicherte Wertpapiere. Cristina Freudenberger (DCM, ECM, hybride Unternehmensfinanzierungsprodukte) schloss sich im Juni 2024 Clifford Chance an. Bereits im darauffolgenden Monat holte man sich jedoch Felix Biedermann (neben DCM auch Bankaufsichtsrecht) von Simmons & Simmons.
Deutschland > Kapitalmarkt > ECM
(Führende Partner)White & Case LLPs ECM-Praxis hat ein turbulentes Jahr hinter sich: Nachdem sich dem Team im Juli 2024 Oliver Seiler, David Rath und Counsel Camilla Kehler-Weiß von Latham & Watkins LLP anschlossen, ging es bereits im Dezember desselben Jahres in die Ausgangsposition zurück. Somit ist man mit den beiden in der Beratung nach US-Recht erfahrenen Partnern Rebecca Emory und Gernot Wagner bzw. durch die Einbettung in das internationale Netzwerk weiterhin auf die grenzüberschreitende Mandatsarbeit ausgerichtet. In standortübergreifender Kooperation wird man so regelmäßig für Banken und zu einem geringeren Maße für Emittenten im Rahmen von Kapitalerhöhungen und der Vorbereitung auf Börsengänge tätig. Die grenzüberschreitenden Kapazitäten ergänzt man durch Expertise in diversen Schnittstellen; so ist Emory im DCM-Segment aktiv und Wagner an der Schnittstelle zu M&A und Restrukturierung.
Germany > Capital markets > Equity capital markets
(Leading partners)White & Case LLP‘s ECM practice has had a turbulent year: after Oliver Seiler, David Rath and counsel Camilla Kehler-Weiß joined from Latham & Watkins LLP in July 2024, the team rejoined its previous firm in December of the same year. Rebecca Emory and Gernot Wagner, who are experienced in advising under US law, and due to their integration into the international network, however continue to focus on cross-border matters. Supported by its cross-location cooperation, the practice regularly acts for banks and, to a lesser extent, for issuers in the context of capital increases and IPO preparations. Cross-border capacities are complemented by expertise in adjacent areas; Emory assists with DCM matters and Wagner with M&A- and restructuring-related issues.
Germany > Capital markets > Debt capital markets
(Leading partners)White & Case LLP‘s combined German, English and US capital markets expertise is sought after not only by investment banks but also increasingly by issuers, who also benefit from the team’s cross-practice capacities. Notably, the Frankfurt office’s US expertise has resulted in the team’s strong presence in the high-yield area, which is led by Rebecca Emory. Karsten Wöckener (also Head of Germany) usually advises on classic debt transactions; most recently these have included various green bonds and securities backed by digital assets. Cristina Freudenberger (DCM, ECM, hybrid corporate finance products) joined Clifford Chance in June 2024. However, the following month, Felix Biedermann (DCM as well as banking regulatory law) joined from Simmons & Simmons.
