Privatizations

Innovative solutions for public sector transactions

As one of Germany's leading investment banks we develop future-oriented solutions for local authorities, Federal States and the Federal Republic of Germany. Our innovative concepts for managing and executing complex and publicity-effective transactions are unrivalled.

Continuity in support and knowledge of specialist background conditions
Our business approach of establishing a long-term, trustworthy collaboration is an invaluable advantage in particular to our public sector clients: We ensure continuity in support and services even in long-standing processes. A further advantage: Our team of experienced employees is closely acquainted with the organization and legal situation of public companies in Germany as well as with questions pertaining to budgetary law and communication requirements with respect to privatizations. Our clients value this know-how as much as our unsurpassed ability to develop an understanding of the appropriate social background conditions for the respective transaction, as well as to communicate sensitive issues to political bodies. By so doing, we not only raise the chances of transaction success but also the efficiency of the privatization process so that it can stand up to scrutiny.

Efficient and transparent process management
We manage processes according to international standards - taking into account client demands and, if relevant, EU directives governing the awarding of contracts. Our clients can rest assured that our objective and transparent processes can also withstand critical public scrutiny. Also, it goes without saying that we do not maintain any lending or investment relations with potential investors and that we do not simultaneously process different projects which might lead to a conflict of interest.

Unrivalled experience in transaction solutions
With more than 40 successfully concluded projects with transaction volumes of over EUR 23 bn, we are one of Germany's leading advisors to the public sector. With our innovative solutions we have set market standards especially in the fields of real estate, capital structuring, municipal utilities as well as in the divestiture of significant corporate shareholdings. We have always understood how best to assert our clients' interests while at the same time taking appropriate account of the concerns of staff members and other stakeholders. You, too, can profit from our comprehensive experience with privatization projects; take a look at our reference transactions.
