Banking & Finance

Due to its strategic geographical location, the Luxembourg financial centre represents the main pillar of the Luxembourg economy. Ranked among the top financial centres of the world, Luxembourg is a global leader in the investment fund industry as well as the first Eurozone’s private banking centre.

Our firm has a solid experience in banking and finance laws acquired through constant practice in these matters.

As a result, in both the specificities of Luxembourg banking and finance laws as well as in the context of international transactions, we advise and represent well known Luxembourg and foreign credit institutions as well as other professionals in the financial sector.

We assist our clients in the negotiating and drafting of any regulatory or contractual documentations, if needed, in close contact with the Supervisory Commission of the Financial Sector.

We help our clients to identify and incorporate the right Luxembourg investment vehicle (both regulated or non-regulated) meeting their needs. We also provide them with timely and useful advice on regulatory issues (both Luxembourg or foreign firms carrying out activities in Luxembourg)

When litigation cannot be avoided, we represent our clients before Luxembourg courts in these matters, where we have strong technical expertise.
