With its specialised team, Gleiss Lutz advises leading investment banks and national and international issuers on transactions in the area of capital markets. This includes public offerings, the placement of shares as part of capital increases – in particular in connection with corporate mergers and takeover offers – the replacement of shares and the issuing of convertible and other corporate bonds (high-yield and investment-grade). Our advice extends to the entire range of capital procurement by companies on the capital market and includes the preparation of employee share ownership models as well as ongoing consultation regarding ad hoc disclosure duties, insider trading prohibitions, and other duties of listed companies. Moreover, Gleiss Lutz advises domestic and foreign investment funds regarding the structuring and sale of their products.
Our advising combines the highest quality legal analysis with a practical and creative approach. On international issues we work together closely with our international partner firms. With regard to private placements and dual listings, we utilise our tried and tested relationships with specialists from law firms in other countries, especially the U.S.
