partner hire in Frankfurt* 
 
*Frankfurt, 27 February 2019* - Global law firm Dentons has appointed Dr. 
Holger Schelling, LL.M. (Harvard), as a new partner in its Frankfurt office. 
Schelling will join in March 2019, strengthening the

a counsel since 2016, and with Clifford Chance. He also gained in-house 
experience at DZ BANK.

service providers on banking and securities regulation as well as on legal 
aspects of derivatives. He also advises fin-tech companies on payment 
services and on blockchain/distributed ledger technology. Schelling also 
represents clients in regulatory proceedings in front of the relevant 
authorities. 
 
"Dentons' global platform and the Firm's special focus on new technologies 
build the perfect basis for advising my clients", commented Holger 
Schelling. 
 
Andreas Ziegenhagen, Germany Managing Partner at Dentons. said: "The hire of 
Holger Schelling helps us pursue two strategic goals: his addition comes in 
response to our clients increasing demand for professional advice in a 
highly-challenging, regulated market; moreover, with his hire, we are 
further boosting our banking and finance and capital markets teams in 
Frankfurt, aligned with our growth strategy." 
 
Dr. Arne Klüwer, Head of Banking and Finance Germany at Dentons, said: 
"Holger Schelling and I have known each other for many years and we have 
worked closely together. His profile is a special benefit for our team. He 
will ideally complement our expanding Financial Institutions Regulatory 
practice by his specialized knowledge and vast experience." 
 
Dentons' Banking and Finance and Capital Markets practices under partners 
Dr. Arne Klüwer and Robert Michels have grown tremendously in recent years. 
Now, the team comprises 20 professionals. Only last year, the group was 
boosted with the addition of two partners, Michael Huertas and Jobst von 
Steinsdorff, and two counsels, Verena Etzel and Surbhi Malhotra-Trenkel.
