Dr. Dietrich F. R. Stiller

Dr. Dietrich F. R. Stiller advises clients in the areas of banking and capital markets law, privatizations and cross-border investments. In particular he specialises in banking law and corporate finance including national and international project finance, BOT structures as well as in export finance and in the refinancing of distressed enterprises.

Dr. Stiller advises enterprises, sponsors, project companies and banks in a wide range of finance transactions. Alongside conventional corporate finance this also includes project finance, e.g. in the areas of renewable energies, conventional power plants, pipelines or airports, other transport infrastructure, telecommunication or industrial facilities. Many of those finance transactions are transnational and involve ECA or other guarantees of the German federal government, foreign export credit agencies (ECAs) or multinational institutions – also taking into account German and international sanctions. Legal advice in relationship to international projects furthermore includes the prevention of events of loss, or the mitigation of events of loss as well as legal support in case of actual or imminent expropriations, including legal advice in related arbitration proceedings.
