Expertises

Banking & Finance
Financial institutions must adapt their processes and financing structures to changing capital requirements and stricter European rules of conduct. These developments have a direct impact on transactions and require continuous attention to compliance in a market subject to regulatory oversight.
Capital Markets
Whether you want to raise capital through equity, debt or alternative forms of financing, you need to thoroughly understand the sector and the legal ins and outs of domestic and international capital market regulations.
Projects & Project Finance
Project financing forms the backbone of many large construction and infrastructure projects, in both the public and private sectors. These projects often require complex financing structures.
Financial Services
The financial sector is subject to increasing regulation, both within and outside Europe. It has become more complex and challenging for financial institutions to continuously anticipate and comply with constantly changing regulations.
Energy & Industry
Investments in wind and solar energy, biorefining and large-scale energy storage are all here to stay. CO2 emissions have to be reduced, which means that production processes need to be more efficient. This requires significant investment on the part of the industry.
Sustainable Finance
Sustainable finance plays a pivotal role in steering the global economy toward long-term ESG goals. It encompasses financial services and instruments that support sustainable economic activities and projects, while also ensuring that financial institutions remain resilient in the face of ESG-related risks.
