Valyo AG, a subsidiary of Raiffeisen Switzerland, has developed an innovative digital platform for issuances of exchange listed bonds geared towards institutional investors. The Valyo platform, intended to be launched in the first quarter of 2020, enables issuers to carry out all steps from the initial registration of a planned issuance through the book building process to closing and listing of the bond issuance in an integrated digital process.

Bär & Karrer acted as legal adviser to Valyo in the context of the development of the Valyo platform and services. The team included Daniel Flühmann and Stefan A. Wandel (both Regulatory, Fintech), Daniel Raun and Alexander von Jeinsen (both Capital Markets, Fintech) as well as Jonas Bornhauser (IP/IT and Data Protection).
