Banking & Finance
Since the early seventies, Luxembourg has been one of the world's leading financial centers, and it has an outstanding expertise in the banking and finance activities as well as in the mutual funds business. Most of the leading financial institutions have a longstanding presence in Luxembourg and thousands of their international corporate clients and almost all of the leading private equity houses structure and finance their investments, acquisitions and buy-outs through Luxembourg, which offers them an in-depth knowledge of the business and a favorable tax environment.
The banking and financial services sector have increasingly characterised by very complex regulation, and corporate or acquisition finance transactions become more and more sophisticated, all of which require both detailed knowledge of the industry and its regulation, and a solid expertise for understanding and structuring the transactions.
We have been servicing clients from the banking & finance sector since the early years of our law firm, when we started to handle banking and leasing cases, and to offer advisory services in private banking to both local financial institutions and their private and corporate clients. Since then, our expertise has grown considerably into numerous most complex asset, acquisition, project and corporate finance transactions, cross-border loans and debt restructuring matters.
