About
Provided by Baker McKenzie
Baker McKenzie has the world's largest M&A practice with nearly 1,400 lawyers executing more cross-border transactions than any other law firm.
Our Luxembourg practice is an invaluable part of this highly efficient and strategic network. Our M&A practice covers both local transactions, where we have the lead, and cross-border deals, where we co-ordinate with our other offices.
Within our interdisciplinary team, our corporate lawyers work hand-in-hand with tax, competition, employment, IP, foreign investment, and commercial specialists to strategically address all legal and regulatory implications of a transaction to minimize business risk and provide an end-to-end, high-value service.
As one of only a handful of law firms with a dedicated global reorganizations practice, we guide our clients through all stages of their transactions, from deal shaping (including carving out assets), negotiation to closing and post-transaction restructuring and integration.
Placing industry specialization at the heart of our business enables us to stay ahead of industry trends to better understand our clients' commercial objectives and offer integrated, practical and tailored legal advice to address deal complexities.
