/ Press release Dentons recruits former General Counsel from Bankhaus Lampe Munich, October 4, 2018 – Global law firm Dentons has strengthened its Banking and Finance practice with the hire of Jobst von Steinsdorff, who previously held the position of General Counsel for the Dusseldorf-based private bank Bankhaus Lampe. Steinsdorff joined Dentons’ Munich office as partner at the beginning of the month. With the hire, Dentons continues to implement its strategy to further grow its offering in the financial services sector. With 18 years of experience as an in-house lawyer in the financial sector, he has a deep understanding of the needs and requirements of banks and financial institutions in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Steinsdorff led the central legal department at Bankhaus Lampe’s Dusseldorf office for almost four years. Prior to that, he was responsible for legal work and the expansion of the bank’s capital market business. His long in-house career also includes many years in the legal department and the regulatory structuring business of Hypo Vereinsbank/UniCredit in Munich, where he worked on a broad range of banking and regulatory matters. Accordingly, Steinsdorff brings significant experience in banking supervisory law and fund regulation, especially with regard to alternative investment funds, and will advise clients in a variety of sectors on corresponding legal questions and transactional work. Andreas Ziegenhagen, Germany Managing Partner, said: “The addition of Jobst von Steinsdorff advances our strategy to grow our service offering in accordance with our clients’ needs. We are very pleased to expand our Munich office and further strengthen our Banking and Finance practice with such a high caliber hire.” Dr. Arne Klüwer, Head of Banking and Finance Germany, added: “By bringing in experienced laterals such as Jobst von Steindorff, we continue to pursue the strategic expansion of our Banking and Finance group in Germany.

He will play an important role in the development and future growth of our services for banks and financial institutions.” In 2017, Dentons expanded its Banking and Finance practice in Germany with the addition of partners Dr. Arne Klüwer and Mortimer Berlet in Frankfurt and Dr. Matthias Eggert in Munich.
