POSSER SPIETH WOLFERS & PARTNERS impresses with in-depth expertise in regulatory issues as well as in administrative disputes and has extensive industry knowledge, particularly in the financial services, automotive and energy sectors. These enable the practice to advise both private companies and public sector clients on important economic and political issues: in addition to setting up Covid-19 rescue packages in the financial services sector, the team is involved in various proceedings pertaining to the regulation of diesel vehicles and advises companies on related environmental issues concerning the coal phase-out. Key contacts include Benedikt Wolfers, who has many years of experience in banking supervisory law and handles regulatory issues in the transport sector, and Burkard Wollenschläger, who, in addition to various proceedings in the automotive industry, also advises on price regulation in the water sector. With the arrival of counsel Frederic Geber from Hengeler Mueller in February 2023, the team also gained an experienced advisor on AI topics in the financial services sector and in relation to autonomous driving systems.
