Heading the group is a team consisting of Sven Brandt, whose capabilities encompass structured and asset-backed facilities, auto loan securitisation specialist Dietmar Helms and Jochen Seitz, for whom EU regulatory law is a core focus, alongside his transactional work. Sebastian Oebels provides further auto loan securitisation experience as part of his asset-backed practice.
