The first offshore law firm to establish a presence in Luxembourg, Ogier gained a first-mover advantage and has cultivated a loyal roster of clients, including funds and banks, as well as regularly being referred work from well-established international firms lacking a presence in the jurisdiction. Led by Jad Nader, the ‘strong banking team’ has ‘extensive experience in funds finance,’ and is able to provide integrated advice utilising Cayman and Luxembourg structures for lenders providing a range of credit facilities to these asset managers. Other work includes a borrower-focused offering for funds on financing to facilitate their downstream M&A and real estate transactions.
