A key focus of our banking & finance practice are acquisition financings, in particular cross-border transactions, multi-layered financing structures and transactions involving capital market products.

We are also specializing in corporate loans for investment grade or sub-investment grade borrowers, whether for general refinancing purposes or in time critical special situations, for example in preparation of an IPO or in restructuring situations.
