★★★ JUVE awards rk partners three stars in banking and finance law

In the latest JUVE ranking for banking and finance law/capital markets law in Austria, rk partners was upgraded from two to three stars. This makes our firm one of the leading practices in this field on the Austrian market—just about a year and a half after receiving its first two-star rating in the fall of 2024. The firm’s strong positioning in sanctions advisory, banking regulatory law, banking M&A, and private wealth management was a key factor in the upgrade. The team led by Dr. Lukas Röper and Dr. Dominik Kurzmann has consistently expanded these practice areas since the firm’s founding in 2023. A particular focus is on the release of frozen funds and securities—a regulatory niche that has become significantly more important in recent years. This rapid upgrade demonstrates how quickly rk partners has established itself in banking and finance law. This award is part of a strong trend in JUVE rankings: rk partners is now listed in four practice areas—Banking and Finance Law/Capital Markets Law, Public Law, Corporate Law/M&A, and Environment/Planning/Regulation as part of Public Law. We would like to thank JUVE for this recognition and our clients for their trust.

★★ JUVE Awards rk partners Two Stars in Public Law

rk partners has once again been recognized by JUVE in the field of public law. Our firm received two stars in the Environment/Planning/Regulation category. This means that rk partners is now represented in four JUVE categories. This award confirms the consistent growth of our public law and regulatory practice since the firm’s founding in early 2023. We place a particular emphasis on energy law: Under the leadership of Dr. Dominik Kurzmann, we advise clients such as Wien Energie as well as companies in the wind and solar sectors, and support projects related to energy communities and energy partnerships. JUVE places particular emphasis on the intersection of public law advisory services with transactional and financing matters. It is precisely this intersection that defines our work: We support clients at the point where regulatory, administrative, civil, and commercial issues converge. Dr. Lukas Röper’s practice in the area of sanctions law was also highlighted, particularly his experience in proceedings before regulatory authorities in Belgium and Germany. We would like to thank JUVE for this recognition and our clients for their trust.

★★ JUVE has awarded rk partners two stars for the first time in the Corporate Law/M&A category

rk partners has been listed for the first time in the JUVE ranking for Corporate Law/M&A in Austria and has been awarded two stars. With this, JUVE confirms the growth of our corporate law and transaction-related practice, which has expanded steadily since the firm’s founding in 2023. JUVE highlights that our services include both traditional corporate law advice—including corporate housekeeping and structural measures—and support for transactions. It also places particular emphasis on our recognized regulatory expertise in the energy and banking sectors. It is precisely this interconnection that characterizes many of our engagements: corporate law, transaction advisory services, and regulatory issues often overlap. rk partners therefore supports clients not only with legal structuring but also in areas where economic, regulatory, and industry-specific requirements converge. We would like to thank JUVE for this recognition and our clients for their trust.

EU Sanctions Law in Banking Practice

Since the start of Russia’s war of aggression, the EU has established a dense network of financial and economic sanctions. In practice, these are often interpreted too broadly, resulting in the blocking of lawful transactions, services, or authorizations—particularly in the correspondent banking sector. Some of these reactions raise questions about their compatibility with the principles of EU law.

Austrian EURAM Bank Winding Down—Payouts Only After AML Checks

We have been receiving numerous requests from EURAM Bank clients seeking assistance with refunds from the Deposit Guarantee Scheme following the Austrian Financial Market Authority’s (FMA) ban on business operations. 🔒 Key Points: - Official suspension of payments declared. - Deposit Guarantee Scheme to reimburse deposits up to €100,000 per depositor, with potentially higher limits under specific conditions. - Einlagensicherung AUSTRIA tasked with managing payouts. - Anti-money laundering checks will precede disbursements, with client data shared with the AML Notification Office and the Austrian police—a potentially significant and unprecedented step for many clients. Legal action and file inspections are recommended. Our team is ready to provide support during this challenging time.
