Expertise

Christof Blauß has been advising and representing credit institutions in almost all banking law matters for more than 25 years. The focus of his practice is in particular on the structuring of complex credit and loan relationships including the associated collateral agreements and investment models, the handling of non-performing loan commitments (so-called "non-performing loans") and advisor liability, e.g. in connection with brokered investment products. His area of activity also includes issues relating to banking supervision law. Christof Blauß' clients include Volks- and Raiffeisen banks, private banks, building societies and special financing institutions. Christof Blauß was one of the first professionals in Germany to be awarded the title of "Certified banking and capital markets law attorney" shortly after its introduction in 2008.

In insurance law, Christof Blauß mainly provides forensic services for insurance companies, in particular in the area of residual credit and life insurance policies.

Furthermore, Christof Blauß is active in the field of corporate law, in particular corporate transactions, as well as questions of corporate structuring and real estate law. In these areas, his clients include medium-sized companies from a wide range of industries, but in particular also real estate companies. Christof Blauß acts for his clients in an advisory capacity, but also in litigation.

In addition to his work as an attorney, Christof Blauß was an honorary Secretary General of the German-Latin American Lawyers' Association TRIANA e.V. between 2004 and 2012, which is why he also works for clients with business interests in Latin America and Spain.
