In addition, he has extensive experience in corporate and real estate transactions, as well as in tax court proceedings and criminal tax law.
Expansion in banking and corporate law

He advises companies, in particular credit institutions and underwriters, on matters relating to liability, regulatory and corporate law. His practice focuses on international clients and cross-border matters, particularly in relation to Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark. He has particular expertise in handling class actions and mass litigation, as well as in the field of digital assets and crypto-assets. In addition to his legal practice, he is the managing director of a custodian under the German Investment Fund Act (KAGB).
