Financial regulatory law is one of the most dynamic areas of public law. Our regulatory team advises financial institutions on all matters of banking, securities, payment services and investment law – from licensing to winding up. We understand the traditional issues of corporate governance at banks and financial services institutions; capital and compliance requirements; and outsourcing – as well as the regulation of banking groups, financial conglomerates, payment services providers, investment funds and their management companies; anti-money laundering; and remuneration policies for management board members and other executives.

You’ll also contribute to drafting, reviewing and revising pleadings, contracts and other legal documents, as well as – depending on your practice area – academic publications.
You can start at any time – during your university studies, your doctorate, or while completing your practical legal training.
