About

Well-known throughout German legal circles for its excellent in-house capability which is able to deal with the lion’s share of legal challenges without recourse to external assistance, Deutsche Börse’s legal team is clearly a top in-house performer. Dr Michael Josef Lappe took on the general counsel role for Deutsche Börse in February 2018, leveraging his significant experience in complex M&A deals and corporate legal work. Its one of the most important cogs in the German financial system – and one that counts the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as one of its subsidiaries – the high level of scrutiny Deutsche Börse is subject to means the legal team’s contribution is particularly important and noteworthy.
