Our global investment funds practice is proud to be one of a handful of law firms which has a truly global platform with offices in key funds jurisdictions, including Luxembourg, Paris, Munich, New York, Hong Kong and London.
In Luxembourg, the investment funds practice is one of our core practices. We are a full-service practice providing legal advice on all aspects of investment funds and asset management. Our fast growing Investment Funds team advises fund initiators and managers, banks and other key industry participants on international fund projects, with a special focus on Real Estate, Private Equity, Debt Funds, Infrastructure and Venture Capital.
We have managed to position ourselves as lead counsel for major fund managers and we play an active role at facilitating their cross-border fund raising and investment activities. Looking at the way we approach matters, we are known for being pragmatic, entrepreneurial and proactive. Another key differentiator is the way our Firm values positively impact the way we act together with our colleagues, our clients and peers. We have a purpose driven approach and we actively listen and connect with our people, market and clients to design the best solutions to their needs. Anchored in our world and welcoming its changes, we are approachable and have a growth mindset.
