Karina Rovnak

Associate
LL.M., MLaw

I have several years of experience in the financial sector – both as in-house counsel and external legal advisor – that enables me to understand the specific challenges of the industry in detail. I specialize in banking and financial market law, corporate law and contract drafting and negotiation. A particular focus of my work lies on financing transactions and the legal and regulatory aspects of structuring and trading of various financial instruments. Thanks to my deep understanding of economic relations and business processes, I develop customized and practice-oriented solutions for our clients.
