Fluent in German, English and French, Stehl offers clients a wealth of knowledge and experience in the regulatory landscape of Germany and across Europe. He regularly advises banks, brokers, fund managers, insurers, clearing houses, trading platforms and settlement systems on German and EU regulations, both in respect of their businesses, as well as in a transactional context such as M&A and private equity.
Coming from a broader finance background, he has also been on the forefront of some of the most prominent restructurings of European banks.
