With 800+ finance lawyers across leading global financial centers and start-up hubs, the strength of our global platform delivers financing solutions when and where you need it.

Client, Chambers
We are on the cutting edge of domestic and international banking, capital markets, and structured finance – designing innovative structures, supporting first-of-a-kind deals, and working in new markets. And when complex distressed situations emerge, we help lenders and issuers tackle challenges from all angles.
Whether you’re an asset manager, bank, borrower, investor or private credit fund, our business-focused strategies are designed to help you maximize opportunities in a dynamic market.
ESG requirements, the expanding competences of supervisory authorities, increasing regulatory requirements, a high level of capital in the private equity environment versus inflation and rising interest rates or disruptive technologies in the financial sector - the list of influential factors in the market is in constant and changeable growth. This means that the environment in which you operate, in Austria as well as in a global context, is changing all the time.
DLA Piper's Austrian finance group not only follows current developments, but also actively shapes the market and gets involved. Just like the wider global DLA Piper finance team, we also have excellent relationships with financial services and other authorities, associations and institutions in this country.
We advise a large number of national and international companies, banks and other financial institutions, private equity firms as well as issuers and borrowers in connection with financings of all kinds, including the structuring of financings and the drafting and negotiation of financing agreements. In addition, we also support established and emerging clients with issues in banking and banking supervisory law as well as in the FinTech sector.
In addition to our internationality and our first-class legal expertise, our advice also thrives on the well-established collaboration with our colleagues in the areas of corporate tax law, energy, real estate, restructuring, real estate, litigation and regulatory. We therefore offer a geographically and professionally holistic approach, enabling us to recognise correlations and emerging developments at an early stage and to develop quick and reliable solutions. Our declared goal is to accompany you successfully through every change and to create legal certainty for your projects, both in Austria and globally.
This informative session will cover perspectives from both lenders and borrowers, including pros and cons, best practices, and case studies on the optimal use of each structure.
