Banking & Finance

Financiële instellingen moeten hun processen en financieringsstructuren aanpassen aan veranderende kapitaaleisen en Europese gedragsregels. Deze ontwikkelingen hebben directe gevolgen voor transacties en vragen om voortdurende aandacht voor naleving binnen een markt die onder toezicht staat.
Banking & Finance

Nieuwe kapitaaleisen, strengere gedragsregels en complexere Europese regelgeving hebben hun weerslag op de financiële markten. Financiële instellingen moeten voortdurend inspelen op de ontwikkelingen in de financiële sectoren en voldoen aan steeds vernieuwende regelgeving. Het Houthoff Banking & Finance Team heeft vergaande kennis van de financiële sector en de daarop van toepassing zijnde wet- en regelgeving. Het ervaren team bedient binnenlandse en buitenlandse banken, investeerders, andere financiële instellingen, grote ondernemingen en toezichthouders. Onze specialisten adviseren over een grote diversiteit aan bancaire en financiële transacties, van high-end acquisitie-, vastgoed-, asset- en projectfinancieringen en syndicaats- en bilaterale leningen tot herstructurering, alles in de context van de complexe financiële regelgeving.

Onze expertise binnen Banking & Finance

Partijen in grensoverschrijdende (veelal complexe) financiële transacties kunnen verstrikt raken in het web van internationale wet- en regelgeving. Toezichthouders houden dit soort transacties nauwlettend in de gaten. Zowel financiële instellingen, investeerders en andere marktpartijen, alsmede buitenlandse advocatenkantoren wenden zich tot ons ervaren Banking & Finance Team voor doelgerichte advisering en ondersteuning.

Onze specialisten integreren hun fiscale, juridische en notariële expertise met hun sectorkennis. Zo komen zij tot doordachte adviezen en praktische oplossingen. Daarnaast heeft Houthoff dankzij haar kantoren in London en New York een omvangrijk internationaal netwerk, waardoor zij toegang heeft tot de juiste expertise op het gebied van buitenlandse wet- en regelgeving.
