Our private equity clients include leading financial sponsors from around the globe. We advise on investments of foreign private equity investors in Luxembourg, through Luxembourg structures, and on transactions with involvement of private equity firms on the sell or buy side.

Our clients benefit from an approach combining corporate, tax, capital markets and acquisition finance law. We have expertise across all types of private equity transactions, ranging from the financing of start-ups to large takeovers and leveraged buy-outs. Our private equity fund team is experienced in arrangements of every level of complexity, including carry structures.

Given the recent growth in regulated private equity structures, we combine the expertise of our asset management and investment fund team with a team specialised in traditional unregulated structures to establish the most favourable solution for each client.

Perspectives

Our dedicated teams can advise on every aspect of the private equity fund lifecycle:

Private Equity transactions and related structuring have for a long time been a key focus for part of the firm and the firm advises on all aspects of private equity.  Because of the firm’s multidisciplinary approach and the expertise and experience of our lawyers, we excel in private equity acquisition structures and transaction related matters (going from the acquisition, the holding structure, the financing to co-investments or joint ventures to management participation and exits).

The team advises multiple private equity sponsors on all aspects of the transaction; structuring, aspects of the acquisitions, financings and exit transactions; and provides corporate, securities, financing and litigation advice to the holding companies and the portfolio companies.
