Why do you need a law firm for capital market law? Here we show you how a specialized lawyer can protect your investments and help you with legal problems.
What is capital market law?
Capital market law is a special area of commercial law that deals with the legal regulations surrounding the capital market. It regulates the relationships between the players on the capital market, i.e. companies, investors, issuers of securities, banks and other financial intermediaries. The aim of capital market law is to ensure transparency and fairness on the market, guarantee investor protection and prevent market abuse.
The central topics of capital market law include, among others:
- Issuance of securities: The legal framework for how companies can issue shares, bonds or other financial products.
- Investor protection: Regulations that protect investors from unfair practices and ensure that they are fully informed.
- Market transparency: Obligations to publish financial reports and relevant information.
- Market abuse: measures against insider trading, price manipulation and other forms of fraud.
- Regulation of financial intermediaries: Rules for banks, brokers and other market participants.
In Germany, capital market law is regulated in particular by the Securities Trading Act (WpHG), the Stock Exchange Act (BörsG) and the Stock Corporation Act (AktG). European regulations such as MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) and the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) also play an important role.

Contact us to find solutions and communicate with all parties involved. A lawyer specializing in capital market law will support you in enforcing your claims and defending against unjustified claims.
Investments: risks and opportunities
Investments offer both opportunities and risks and are a central component of wealth planning. The opportunities lie primarily in the possibility of building up assets over the long term, achieving returns and benefiting from interest, dividends or price increases. At the same time, however, investments also harbor risks that depend on the type of investment. The most common risks include market fluctuations, interest rate changes, inflation losses, credit risks in the case of bonds or the total loss of speculative investments. Balanced diversification and sound advice are crucial to minimizing risks and making the most of opportunities. If financial advisors do not explain risks correctly or provide incorrect information, this can lead to considerable losses. In these cases, it is important to have your claim for compensation reviewed.
Cooperation with other areas of law
Capital markets law is a complex area that often interfaces with other areas of law. Close cooperation with banking law is essential, as many capital market law issues – such as the issue of securities or the liability of banks for incorrect investment advice – are directly linked to banking law regulations. Insolvency law also plays a central role, particularly in the case of corporate insolvencies that may have an impact on bondholders or other investors. Here it is important to examine claims and assert the interests of investors in insolvency proceedings.
Our interdisciplinary cooperation with these and other areas of law enables us to comprehensively assess complex issues and develop tailor-made solutions to achieve the best results for our clients. They benefit from holistic advice that takes both legal and commercial aspects into account.
