A&O Shearman acts integrated into the cross-border network and advises on crisis situations pertaining to antitrust and employment law, money laundering and anti-corruption matters as well as capital markets issues. The practice is primarily instructed by clients from the finance, life sciences and technology sectors, which regularly request the team's expertise in financial sanctions, cybercrime, data protection and tax law issues. The two practice heads Wolf Bussian and Jan Erik Windthorst are well versed in supporting transaction-related investigations across the financial sector and are supported in this by Tim Nikolas Müller, who is experienced in financial sanctions and money laundering prevention issues. This industry focus was strengthened in May 2024 with the partner appointment of David Schmid; the latter regularly supports financial institutions in internal investigations.
