Banking and Finance

WINHELLER Attorneys at Law's head office is located in the center of German finance. We advise our international clients, financial institutions and participants in the financial markets acting in all fields of the financial industry, on all issues of Banking and Finance Law. We accompany our clients' licensing procedure with the financial supervisory authorities, draft their articles of association, compliance guidelines and client contracts and keep them up-to-date with all changes in legislation and jurisdiction. If necessary, we assert our clients' interests against public administration and competitors.

The editors of the handbook JUVE German Commercial Law Firms 2010/2011, Germany's “who's who” of business law firms, attest that “WINHELLER Attorneys at Law face brisk demand from financial service providers that are seeking advice in order to prevent potential law suits.” By drawing up sophisticated contracts, we help avoid legal conflicts between financial service providers and their customers. In case a dispute should arise despite this, we also take over legal defense. In-house trainings enable our clients to provide highly qualified and legally compliant financial services such as investment broking and investment advise. We also help our clients set up a conflict avoiding business documentation. When issuing financial instruments or launching investment funds, we assist securities issuers and asset management companies with drafting the required prospectuses.
