Hengeler Mueller advises Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft on the transition into its new organizational structure under a newly established holding company

The Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft Group, the private bank of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, is changing the Group's organizational structure from December 1, 2023, under a newly established holding company, headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, and is redesigning the management of its two banks in this context.

Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft is the private bank of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, one of the largest financial groups in the world. It consists of two full-service banks with headquarters in Zurich and Frankfurt am Main. It also has the only multi-family office in the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, the Family Office of Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft AG. Through a majority stake in IMAP M&A Consultants AG, it also has a high level of expertise in M&A consulting for medium-sized companies. The group manages around CHF/EUR 18 billion and is one of the ten largest private banks in Germany. From December 1, 2023, the group will be managed by a holding company based in Frankfurt am Main, whose sole shareholder will continue to be Helaba (Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen).

Hengeler Mueller advised Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft on the legal transformation into the new organizational structure and on the establishment and licensing of the newly formed holding company.
