Regional Capabilities

As Europe's financial markets emerge from a period of uncertainty, the future looks more positive, but more complex. Banks face structural changes and the finance industry is unsure about how the new environment of joint European banking supervision will operate. Dentons' Banking and Finance lawyers can help you navigate the new regulatory terrain.

We offer you a sizeable team of banking and finance lawyers in Continental Europe, who advise on the full spectrum of local and cross-border finance activities. You can rely on our long-standing experience in Europe's leading financial and emerging markets. We were one of the first international law firms to operate in Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS, where we have been serving clients for over three decades. In fact, we were engaged to help develop legislative frameworks in many emerging markets.

You also benefit from lawyers who represent a wide range of industry participants, including banks and financial institutions, regulators, sponsors, borrowers and issuers.

Whether your issue is local or cross-jurisdictional, our extensive experience working on cross-border financial transactions means that we can provide you with targeted advice on the various European legal systems and with a team fluent in your language, your business and your markets.
