Our external profiles in banking and capital markets law advise financial institutions, issuers, and investors on regulatory requirements, capital markets transactions, and regulatory structural issues. They prepare legal opinions, review contracts in accordance with the German Banking Act (KWG), the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), and MiFID II, assist with BaFin proceedings, and provide sound legal positions for the executive board and supervisory board.

Companies turn to external attorneys specializing in banking and capital markets law when internal resources reach their limits in regulatory projects, M&A transactions, or supervisory audits. New product lines, licensing initiatives, or the introduction of MiCAR-compliant crypto-asset structures also require specialized expertise that is rarely maintained in-house on a permanent basis. Those who act too late in these situations risk fines, reputational damage, or the loss of their license.

An external specialist attorney in banking and capital markets law advises companies on capital markets and banking regulatory obligations, particularly regarding product design, distribution, and communication. They review prospectuses, KIDs, and contractual documents, assess liability and investor protection risks, and provide support in responding to BaFin inquiries. The goal is legally sound documentation, robust processes, and consistent reasoning when dealing with regulators and investors.
When new investment products, campaigns, or distribution channels are being planned and it is unclear which disclosure and conduct obligations apply, the need is typically high. Another indicator is recurring inquiries from compliance or sales regarding wording, target market, suitability, or documentation requirements. At the latest when contacted by BaFin, during audits, or in the face of increasing investor complaints, a structured, specialist legal perspective helps limit risks and secure evidence.
Robust knowledge of banking and capital markets law, prospectus law, and investor protection is essential, as is experience with BaFin processes and regulatory argumentation. Practical skills also include contract and document review, structured risk analyses, and the ability to translate requirements into processes, controls, and training programs. In terms of certifications, the title of “Specialist Attorney” in banking and capital markets law is a key indicator of quality; on the tools side, clean redlining, version control, and secure collaboration in DMS/collaboration environments are essential.

Our external specialist attorneys in banking and capital markets law profiles are experienced in working with BaFin regulations, documentation standards, and investor-protection-driven review criteria. This results in more precise risk analyses, better supporting documentation, and fewer back-and-forth rounds between Legal, Compliance, and Product.
Typical deliverables include legal opinions, memo templates, and specific redlines on prospectuses, KIDs, term sheets, general terms and conditions, as well as Marketing and advisory materials. These are supplemented by Q&A catalogs and draft responses to BaFin inquiries, including lists of supporting documents and evidence. In litigation-related projects, our external attorneys specializing in banking and capital markets law also provide governance and approval profiles, control points, templates, and training materials.
The daily rate for our external specialist attorneys in banking and capital markets law typically ranges from €1,000 to €1,800. The specific rate depends, among other factors, on specialization (e.g., prospectus law, BaFin compliance, litigation experience), seniority, and project urgency. We ensure that the attorney’s profile is a good fit for the assignment—both professionally and economically—and reliably covers the expected deliverables.
