Comprehensive capital markets law advice from our lawyers in Frankfurt
Many years of experience for our Frankfurt clients
Capital investments can open up opportunities, but they also bring uncertainties. Anyone wanting to preserve, grow, or sensibly structure their assets quickly encounters questions that create unnecessary risks without a clear assessment. In Frankfurt, it is therefore worth not leaving financial decisions to chance but obtaining a reliable assessment early. Not every investment lives up to what the prospectus promises: loss of value, missing returns, or unexpected costs can significantly burden both private and institutional investors.
Our lawyers in Frankfurt help you critically review investment products and identify possible problem areas in good time. This is not only about choosing suitable investments but also about which protective mechanisms make sense for your capital. We also support you when it comes to asserting claims after a failed investment, and we vigorously advocate for your interests. This includes preparing and asserting claims for damages, where circumstances suggest this.
Anyone in Frankfurt who values clear, structured support in capital markets law will find a reliable point of contact with us. Our lawyers help you protect assets as effectively as possible and pursue your claims purposefully.
Professional advice on investments
Advising private and institutional investors in Frankfurt
Whether it concerns building a well-thought-out asset structure or solid financing for a company: in Frankfurt, lawyers help you consistently protect your economic interests. Especially when markets suddenly turn, prices drop, or expected returns fail to materialize, investments quickly come under pressure. Anyone who acts in time can identify sources of risk earlier and better protect their capital from unnecessary losses.
The lawyers of MTR Legal in Frankfurt support you when transactions seem unclear, processes are hard to follow, or warning signs increase around investments. The goal is to identify potential sources of loss, develop solutions, and build an investment strategy that remains sound over the long term. Tax and banking-related conditions are factored in, as well as your personal starting situation and specific plans.
This creates support in Frankfurt that does not rely on standard solutions but is precisely tailored: with a clear structure, understandable steps, and an eye on the entire financial environment. This allows you to make decisions that fit your plans – and reliably pursue your financial goals.
Safeguarding your interests in stock corporation law
Support for the management board, supervisory board and shareholders from Frankfurt
In Frankfurt, our lawyers support companies and their bodies on all matters of stock corporation law – from the initial concept to ongoing organization. Anyone wanting to set up a stock corporation receives support in Frankfurt with the right structure, the drafting of the articles of association and corporate bodies, and the clear allocation of tasks. Equally important: we clearly explain what duties apply to management and supervision and what liability risks can result.
Conflicts among shareholders, too, can often only be resolved in Frankfurt through consistent action. One focus is therefore on protecting shareholder rights, for example when decisions of the general meeting are to be reviewed and challenged. In addition, our lawyers in Frankfurt are at your side on questions relating to ad hoc disclosure under Section 15 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). If price-relevant inside information is published late, incompletely, or incorrectly, this can – depending on the circumstances – trigger compensation claims from investors or shareholders. So that you remain able to act in such cases, we support you in Frankfurt with the legally sound classification of the situation, preparation of the next steps, and goal-oriented implementation.

Real estate funds — capital investment with risks
Legal advice is essential to minimize risks in real estate fund investments
In Frankfurt, buying real estate is often seen as a solid building block for building wealth. Nevertheless, a second look is worthwhile, because investments in tangible assets – for example through real estate funds – can also prove considerably riskier than they first appear. Especially in recent years, numerous investors in Frankfurt have seen that supposedly “safe” models do not automatically protect against noticeable losses.
If a real estate fund runs into economic difficulty, this usually has several causes. Changing market conditions can quickly outdate calculations, construction and project costs sometimes rise unexpectedly sharply, and declining demand for rental space puts pressure on the income side. If rent payments fail or management, maintenance, and ongoing operations become more expensive, liquidity becomes tight. The result: distributions are cut, postponed, or stop altogether. In the worst-case scenario, insolvency is even a possibility – with the consequence that investors not only forgo profits but may also have to return payouts already received. This means the range of risks extends all the way to a total loss of the capital invested.
Lawyers from MTR Legal support investors from Frankfurt in protecting their interests and reviewing possible claims for damages. A starting point can exist particularly when documents contained misleading information or significant errors occurred during advice. The goal is to limit economic disadvantages for investors as far as possible.
Shipping funds — high-risk investment for investors
Rely on our experience in secure investments and contract drafting
For a long time, shareholdings in ship funds were considered an attractive investment idea: regular payouts, tangible assets, and the prospect of predictable returns. Today, however, it is clear that such structures – comparable to some real estate funds – are subject to significant fluctuations and carry substantial risk of loss. Anyone who relied on overly optimistic forecasts or was only partially informed about risks may face the bitter consequence that the invested money is wholly or partially lost.
If there are indications that essential information was missing or that disclosure was not properly carried out, lawyers in Frankfurt carefully review the circumstances. This particularly concerns whether intermediaries or advisors met their duties to inform and advise. If the review of documents and conversations shows that duties were breached, we pursue the enforcement of damages claims for investors consistently and purposefully.
A further focus concerns claims to reclaim distributions already received. Especially in connection with the insolvency of a ship fund, it can happen that an insolvency administrator demands the full or partial return of payouts. In such situations too, we support clients from Frankfurt, assess the claims, and work to protect your economic interests and assert legitimate claims on your behalf.

Private Equity and Venture Capital
High profit opportunities and high risks – Comprehensive legal advice for Frankfurt
In Frankfurt, interest is growing in investment models where investors do not merely invest passively but acquire company shares in a targeted way through specially founded structures. This often gives rise to new companies in which private investors and institutional investors join forces. Whether a GmbH, KG, or GbR: the capital is often pooled and deployed in the form of private equity funds for selected investments, in order to benefit after a few years from a positive development in company value.
As appealing as the prospect of returns may be, the downside must not be overlooked. As soon as additional funds are brought in through loans or other forms of financing, far-reaching consequences can arise in a worst-case scenario. If the venture fails, questions of liability, the attribution of decisions, and possible claims for compensation and damages quickly come to the fore. This is exactly when it becomes clear how important clear contractual arrangements and proper documentation of processes are.
When investments stall or disputes arise, reliable legal support matters. The lawyers of MTR Legal in Frankfurt help investors assert claims and clarify responsibilities in a comprehensible way – including in disputes relating to liability and unwinding transactions.
Venture capital also plays a central role in Frankfurt: young companies receive capital while investors take on shares in return. Because the risk in early stages can be particularly high, it is advisable to have the structuring and review of such transactions supported by experienced lawyers in capital markets law in Frankfurt.

Professional advice on BaFin matters
Support from our lawyers in Frankfurt
Anyone offering financial services or operating a bank in Germany cannot avoid the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). As the key supervisory authority, it continuously reviews whether market participants comply with statutory requirements and whether processes are designed in a way that preserves stability and trust in the financial system. A particular focus is on credit institutions as well as securities-related matters, where requirements are regularly checked and processes subject to documentation obligations are critically examined.
For companies to reliably implement these requirements in day-to-day business, clear processes, proper documentation, and an approach that remains sound even under new rules are needed. In Frankfurt, our lawyers support financial service providers and banks on all questions arising from BaFin’s expectations – from the structured preparation of internal measures to support with regulatory processes. This takes into account the particularities of your business model rather than working with generic solutions.
Precisely because requirements, interpretive guidance, and market expectations can change, well-organized handling of compliance matters is a real advantage. Our lawyers in Frankfurt help identify risks early, make responses predictable, and align workflows so that BaFin reviews and requirements can be handled efficiently.
