Capital Markets Law

Our advice covers measures in preparation for an IPO, such as:

• conducting IPO/IBO readiness assessments (also in close coordination with other Deloitte workstreams),

• exit readiness assessments to support investors, including preparation for a dual track process,

• conducting due diligence in preparation for the prospectus,

• supporting corporate law preparations, such as advising on changes in legal form and capital measures,

• preparing the prospectus and providing support during the IPO itself, or

• supporting the implementation of structures with a view to capital market compliance.

Our advice also includes assistance with:

• questions regarding ad hoc disclosure requirements, insider lists, etc.

• administrative offense proceedings by BaFin

• capital measures with and without a prospectus, including capital increases through contributions in kind, debt-to-equity swaps

• withdrawal from the stock market (delisting)

Furthermore, we advise on takeover procedures, both on behalf of the target company and on behalf of the acquirer.
