Mrs Siobhán McCarthy > Loyens & Loeff > Luxembourg, Luxembourg > Lawyer Profile

Active throughout the life cycle of a transaction from initial fund setup through to investments and exits, the ‘knowledgeable’ multi-disciplinary team at Loyens & Loeff provides ‘commercially-oriented and pragmatic advice’ to an impressive roster of global sponsors on the Luxembourg law aspects of cross-border mandates, where it often works alongside high-profile UK and US-based referring law firms. The ‘outstanding’ Guy Palmaers exhibits ‘exceptional strategic thinking and a business-oriented approach’, both on the acquisition and sale side (including through IPO exits), as well as in the context of ongoing operational work including advice on management incentive plans. Dual UK and Luxembourg-qualified partner Michael Scott regularly handles private equity-related restructuring work, including for portfolio companies in financial distress as well as in relation to distressed M&A for fund clients. Mathilde Lattard’s wide skillset in the sector ensures she is adept at handling fund setups and subsequent M&A activity, as well as co-investment strategies and exits. Siobhán McCarthy, who is noted for her aptitude in providing ‘practical and actionable advice’, Ana Andreiana and recent hire Frédéric Lemoine excel in handling cross-border private equity-related M&A matters and form a vital part of the Frédéric Franckx-headed private equity transactional team.
