Daniel Baierlein's practice is focused on structured finance, securitization and bank regulatory law.

He concentrates on structured finance and securitization transactions where he advises arrangers, investors and issuers on true sale transactions of various asset classes (securities backed by lease/trade receivables, consumer loans and residential/commercial mortgage loans) as well as on the ECB eligibility criteria.

Furthermore, Daniel Baierlein focuses on bank regulatory issues, and particularly advises on capital adequacy requirements, instruments eligible as regulatory capital, the so-called five-percent-risk retention rule (Art. 122a of the CRD/Section 18a, b of the German Banking Act (KWG)) as well as on liquidity buffers. He is currently concentrating on various international and European (CRD II, CRD III and CRD IV) amendments to the Basle framework/Capital Requirements Directive and their implementation into German law.

Daniel Baierlein joined White & Case in 2007.
