DR OLAF GRABOWSKI JOINS LOVELLS' INTERNATIONAL BANKING PRACTICE

 

28 April 2003 Dr Olaf Grabowski, previously a senior counsel and a director at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, joins Lovells as a partner on 1 May 2003, based in the Frankfurt office. He will be a member of Lovells' international banking practice, focusing on transactional banking activities, in particular, project, commodity and acquisition finance. His appointment supports Lovells' strategy to be a leading law firm in Germany with a strong banking practice.

During his time with Dresdner, Olaf specialised in project, commodity and acquisition financing, and has extensive experience of emerging market transactions. Prior to working for Dresdner, he spent six years as head of the international section of the legal department at Landesbank Hessen-Thuringen Girozentrale in Frankfurt, working on a wide range of international banking and finance matters. Though the majority of his career has been spent in-house, Olaf began his career in private practice, working for Shearman & Sterling in Frankfurt.


Lovells' international banking practice includes over 40 partners and 100 other lawyers worldwide, with specialists in key areas such as acquisition finance, project and asset finance and structured commodity finance.
Andrew Gamble, head of Lovells' international banking practice said:

"Olaf's wide experience in the German banking sector, coupled with his knowledge of emerging markets, will strengthen our banking practice not only domestically in Germany but also in Russia and Eastern Europe".

Dr Olaf Grabowski commented:

"Moving back into private practice will enable me to focus on the areas I'm particularly interested in, such as acquisition and structured commodity finance work. Lovells, with its strong presence in Germany and its global reach, is ideally placed not only to carry out big ticket finance deals in Germany but also to service German finance institutions in the developing economies of Eastern Europe and Russia."
