Thanks to the cross-practice cooperation, Hogan Lovells International LLP's regulatory expertise is regularly called upon in the context of restructurings, reorganisations and transactions in the banking sector, as well as in the compliance area and in connection with internal investigations; the forensic expertise was most recently demonstrated in connection with special audits by BaFin. The team is also experienced at the capital markets interface, where banks are supported in proceedings against the European Union’s Single Resolution Board pertaining to bank levies as well as the distribution of structured products. This is complemented by capacities in the payment and fintech area, which were recently strengthened with the appointment of Sarah Wrage to partner in January 2024. The practice is led by Richard Reimer (institutional and product-specific regulatory law), who is supported by counsel Andreas Doser (German and European regulatory law).
