Asset Management

Consulting focus

• Regulatory developments

  We advise asset managers on the applicable regulatory framework and support them in implementing new regulatory requirements. Regardless of whether you are a specialized asset manager or a large capital management company: We respond intensively and tailor-made to the individual needs and situations of our clients. This enables us to develop legally compliant and practice-oriented solutions based on in-depth analyses of regulatory issues and innovations.

• Structuring of investment vehicles

  We advise investors and asset managers with regard to their investment products and assist them in the implementation of investment concepts and vehicles. We analyze and optimize fund and sales structures and support you in updating fund documentation and sales documents. We take care of the drafting of contracts, the review and, if necessary, the adaptation of existing contractual documentation as well as the design of compensation systems. Our expertise also includes legal advice on transactions and financial operations for portfolio management (for example, derivatives, securities loans, etc.).

• Support for legal departments

  We support the legal departments of asset managers in their day-to-day business and see ourselves as an “extended workbench”. With this concept, which is our specialty, we actively counter the current development in legal functions that increasing work volume, ever higher regulatory density and increasing complexity of legal issues meet decreasing human resources. Furthermore, legal departments often have a high administrative workload and repetitive processes. This is also where we come in with our “extended workbench” concept for your legal department and take on a wide range of activities for you, from balancing out peak workloads to permanent outsourcing of parts of the legal tasks.
