Lawyer Dr. Jochen Strohmeyer
Dr. Strohmeyer advises financial service providers and investors on all questions relating to capital investment, in particular with regard to closed-end real estate funds. Due to his many years of experience in advising and litigating in this area, he has been heading the department “Defence against mass damages for issuers and structural distributors” since 2008. This topic is also becoming increasingly relevant for insurers and regulatory umbrellas due to the stricter regulation of the area of pecuniary damage liability insurance. Included is the important topic of information control, for example in the areas of the internet (especially “hostile” AdWords), other media and participation under company law (shareholders’ meeting). For independent and affiliated distributors, Dr. Strohmeyer is also the contact person for the preparation and review of reports on investment advice provided. In addition to his work as a lawyer, Dr. Strohmeyer regularly gives lectures at industry trade fairs and to professional audiences.
He is the author of numerous articles in professional journals and industry magazines (direct link to publications).
