Frankfurt—Global law firm Dentons today strengthened its team in Frankfurt with the recruitment of counsel Dr. Markus Schrader. He joins the Banking and Finance practice led by Dr. Arne Klüwer as well as the Capital Markets team led by Robert Michels.

Schrader joins Dentons from Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt, where he started 2003 and served as Director and Senior Counsel since 2010. In this role, he advised Deutsche Bank and its subsidiaries on questions of German and European banking and securities regulation, compliance and governance issues. He also supported the bank on corporate, M&A and capital markets transactions, including recently the structuring and implementation of national and international transactions in the banking sector (including fin-tech).

Andreas Ziegenhagen, Germany Managing Partner, commented. “The expansion of the Banking and Finance team with respected practitioners like Markus Schrader is of strategic importance to the further development of Dentons in Germany.”

Robert Michels, Office Managing Partner in Frankfurt and Head of the Global Capital Markets group, added: “Markus has a very interesting background within a leading international banking and financial services group. We are very much looking forward to our future cooperation.”

Dr. Markus Schrader said: “Joining Dentons is the ideal way for me to expand my advisory portfolio, due to its excellently positioned team and its global reach.”

Dentons recently strengthened its Banking and Finance practice in Germany with the recruitment of partners Dr. Arne Klüwer, Dr. Matthias Eggert and Mortimer Berlet in the spring, and counsel Dr. Clemens Maschke in July.
