Firm Overview:

As an independent law firm based in Luxembourg, we offer a complete range of services in many different sectors and can advise our clients worldwide on their Luxembourg law issues.

Investment Funds:

We are the firm of choice in asset management and investment funds, having unparalleled experience in assisting asset managers and other professionals in setting up various types of investment funds across all investment strategies. The team also advises investors in connection with their investment projects.

Our extensive knowledge of the asset management and the investment fund industry enables us to provide a full-service approach, covering regulated and unregulated investment funds, management companies, AIFMs, and all related legal, regulatory and tax matters.

After having acted as legal adviser in relation to the creation of the first UCITS in 1988, the first SICAR in 2004, the first RAIF in 2016, our involvement in the creation of the first ELTIF 2.0 constitutes a further milestone for our firm.

Banking & financial services:

Our market-leading banking and financial services practice has experience dating back more than 60 years and an exceptional track record. We have the largest banking and financial services team in Luxembourg, supporting clients with all areas of their banking and financial service needs.

Our team is at the forefront of market developments and has recognised expertise in assisting clients with complex, precedent-setting projects in Luxembourg and abroad.

Corporate/M&A:

Our Corporate and M&A practice is part of the corporate, banking and finance group which is at the heart of Elvinger Hoss Prussen. Unlike other firms, we have decided to keep a common group of specialists covering a broad spectrum of work in these sectors. This provides continuity of service to you as matters develop, and builds stronger relationships over time.

Our clients benefit from our multi-disciplinary competence and experience on all aspects of highly complex domestic and cross-border transactions involving corporate, governance, structuring and restructuring, private equity, real estate, investment funds as well as civil and tax law aspects.

We are recognised by our clients as finding innovative and creative solutions to meet our clients’ needs.

Arbitration & alternative dispute resolution:

Litigation may not always be the ideal path to solving a dispute. In a fast-paced context, the rapidity, confidentiality and flexibility offered by alternative dispute resolution options can be the right solution for resolving disagreements.

Tax:

Our firm is a central player in the design and implementation of international tax structures for the Luxembourg financial sector. We have a strong track record in tax-enhanced national and cross-border transactions with an international component. We devise innovative but viable commercial tax structures and handle complex tax litigation. Working with our colleagues specialising in investment funds and leading tax experts in other jurisdictions, we advise on all tax aspects of investment vehicles. We constantly monitor developments in the global environment that affect existing tax arrangements, ensuring our clients are optimally positioned financially while being fully compliant with international tax law.

Our international presence

Our strong position in Luxembourg’s highly developed financial centre means we can guide our international clients through challenges arising from ongoing changes in the legal and regulatory environment and turn these into commercial opportunities. We are well placed to identify opportunities for foreign investors and help them navigate the Luxembourg law.
