A&O Shearman

A&O Shearman is an experienced partner for German and international financial institutions, asset managers and private equity companies to advise on various securitisation transactions, including traditional and synthetic securitisations and, most recently, start-up deals, as well as ones linked to ESG criteria and cryptocurrencies. The group also covers all regulatory issues, which has led to frequent instructions concerning structured products issuance platforms and issuing business. Practice head Martin Scharnke frequently takes the lead on such matters, but alongside securitisations, also advises on derivatives and DCM topics and frequently assists providers of trust and agency services with their transactions in the German market. He is supported, among others, by Stefan Henkelmann, who covers a similarly broad range of legal areas.
