BBH combines top-tier expertise in capital markets with an exceptionally deep understanding of financial regulation. Thanks to this unique combination, it ranks among the leading legal advisers for complex, regulatory-intensive and innovative transactions on the Czech and Slovak markets. Clients turn to us particularly in situations where it is necessary to design new legal and financial structures, optimize regulatory capital, strengthen financing, or implement projects in areas where established legal practice does not yet exist.

We provide comprehensive legal support in connection with issuances of debt and other capital instruments, the establishment of bond programmes, public offerings and other forms of financing through the capital markets. Our advice covers transaction structuring, preparation of prospectus documentation, the design of distribution models, as well as ensuring full compliance with European and Czech regulatory frameworks.

BBH is also a leader in the area of innovative financial instruments and investment structures. We assist clients in designing new investment products and solutions that enable the efficient transfer and management of risks associated with various types of underlying assets. Our work often sets new market standards and contributes to the development of modern investment instruments and structures.

Our experience also includes complex projects at the intersection of capital markets, fund structures, real estate investments and financial regulation. BBH advises on the structuring of investment funds, acquisitions and restructurings of investment structures, as well as the establishment of governance, compliance and regulatory processes necessary to protect investors and ensure the stable operation of investment projects.

Fintech and digital investment services also represent an important part of our practice. We assist clients in creating legal frameworks for online investment platforms and digital distribution models for financial instruments that combine technological innovation with strict financial regulatory requirements. Our advice covers both the structuring of investment products and the establishment of regulatory and licensing frameworks for the provision of investment services in a digital environment.

BBH is among the most experienced law firms in the area of regulatory capital in the Czech and Slovak Republics. We advise on the structuring and issuance of capital instruments eligible as regulatory capital, including Tier 2, AT1 and MREL instruments. Thanks to our long-standing practice and deep understanding of regulation, we help financial institutions access capital markets efficiently and optimize their capital structures.

We also hold a strong position in the field of alternative financing and investment platforms. We participate in creating legal and regulatory frameworks for crowdfunding and P2P platforms, including the implementation of European regulation for crowdfunding service providers. Our advice includes licensing procedures, structuring of investment products, governance and compliance frameworks, as well as support for the international expansion of digital investment services.

BBH’s ability to combine innovation in capital markets with deep regulatory insight distinguishes us from traditional legal advisers.
