With a focus on advising issuers and medium-sized banks, Norton Rose Fulbright's holistic approach to capital markets advice leads to regular instructions on issuance programs (EMTN programs, debt issuance programs, commercial paper programs) and issuance platforms as well as on the issuance of various secured and structured bonds; here, the practice recently experienced an increased demand for assistance with ESG-related bonds, such as green bonds and social bonds. Christoph Enderstein complements this with expertise in capital market-related supervisory law and, most recently, often advised on alternative provisions for reference interest rates related to floating rate notes. He jointly leads the practice with Frank Regelin, who, in addition to capital market transactions, also handles public takeovers and M&A deals.
