Raupach & Wollert-Elmendorff advise credit institutes and financial service providers in virtually all fields of banking and finance law. Our expertise ranges over structural financing (leveraged lease, synthetic lease, synthetic transfers), disposition of claims and securitization, the legal structuring of closed-end funds and open-end funds, questions of liability of banking advisers and brokers for capital investments and fund financing, real estate financing, financing of consolidated companies, banking supervision law, etc.

Transfer of credit arrangements

We advise banking houses and financial investors on the acquisition and sale of selected loan portfolios (performing/non-performing/sub-performing loans) and individual facilities, including conducting due diligence examinations, creating contractual documentation and the execution as necessary of individual loan facilities.

Financing Equity Holdings

Regarding the financing of acquisitions, we act for institutional and strategic investors particularly in the field of contract drafting. The spectrum of our services includes creating comprehensive loans documentation (senior facility/junior debt/inter-creditor deed, CPs, etc) as well as creating security documentation (e.g. creation of land charges, assignments and pledge agreement, securities). We both advise on and create mezzanine solutions (subordinated loans, dormant equity holdings, participation rights, etc), including the prioritization of these finance models to the senior (bank) loan.
