Dr. Philipp Riedl

Dr. Philipp Riedl is a partner in the firm’s Munich office with a focus on investment management. He assists clients regarding the structuring and documentation of regulated investments for both retail and institutional investors. These investments comprise structured and other debt financial instruments, securitization solutions, and fund vehicles.

In addition, he advises on the issuing, distribution and marketing of financial instruments, as well as on ongoing legal and transactional issues related to the law of negotiable instruments and investment law.

Another key area is legal guidance on derivatives and repurchase agreements (“repos”), particularly where national and international master agreements apply. He also assists in creating complex documentation for OTC transactions (“confirmation”), including swaps.

Furthermore, he supports clients in the context of registration and licensing procedures as well as other administrative procedures and interventions in the context of financial market supervision.

Philipp joined the firm in July 2016. He has been working as a lawyer for several years and extended his knowledge of the industry while being seconded to the capital law legal departments of two leading major German banks. Previously, he was an associate at an international business law firm in the areas of banking and capital markets at its Munich office.
