CMS is a first port of call for clients from sectors outside the financial services sector requiring assistance with financial regulatory matters, notably acting for the banking and leasing arms of automotive firms alongside the firm’s roster of bank and asset management clients. The firm is also sought after for advice on EU regulations, assisting clients seeking to comply with DORA and MiCAR provisions. The team is headed in tandem by Joachim Kaetzler, who handles matters of banking supervisory and securities law, and Andrea München, who is also qualified in Luxembourg, represents clients in litigation against BaFin and other supervisory agencies.
