Daniel Latta
Areas of practice
Daniel Latta specialises in bank contract law. He advises financial sector companies on all matters pertaining to bank contract law, in particular in the areas of consumer credit, payment transaction and capital investment law. Over the years, Daniel Latta has also gained a wealth of experience as a lead trial lawyer in state courts, in individual proceedings as well as in mass and collective proceedings. He has repeatedly brought about landmark decisions by the highest courts on issues related to bank contract law. Daniel Latta thus combines the expertise of a trained banker and banking lawyer with the skills of a highly specialised litigator. He also regularly gives lectures on banking contract law topics and has been teaching at the German Institute of Banking at the Berlin School of Economics and Law since 2018 as part of the further education programme for investment and asset advisors.
In addition, Daniel Latta also concentrates his practice on complex financial and corporate disputes, such as post M&A disputes, damages claims against managing directors and board members and shareholder disputes. He represents his domestic and international clients both in state courts ad before arbitral tribunals.

After studying law and completing an additional business and economics programme (with a focus on banking and finance) at the Universities of Bayreuth and Augsburg (both Germany), he worked at leading German law firms in Dusseldorf and Berlin (Germany).
