About

Led by general counsel Ulrich Freitag and with three core teams and 18 individuals, the IKB Deutsche Industriebank legal team has been striving for ‘operational excellence, top-standard legal advice and high-quality legal risk management at minimal cost’, according to Freitag. Major steps to achieving this were ‘a new open-space office environment optimising information flow in the deal teams and working groups, the implementation of state-of-the-art full digital workflow and know-how management and a broad range of legal education to maintain and broaden legal competence’. As for project work, Freitag reports that alongside complex litigation, the team has been engaged in two important M&A transactions including the sale of IKB Leasing Group, and the ‘successful restructuring of IKBs Hybrid Capital Instruments, issuance of subordinated debt, restructuring of IKB Group and thereby significant reduction of Group companies and the implementation of new MiFID-rules’. Freitag speaks extremely positively of the legal talent available to his team, mentioning two individuals specifically: ‘Christina Wolff has provided outstanding corporate law work and generated significant cost savings in her overseeing of Group restructuring and Group company reductions, while Marco Witting has implemented new working group structures and did core legal and project management for hybrid capital restructuring transactions’.
