(Hall of Fame)

Jacques ElvingerElvinger Hoss Prussen

‘Well connected to the regulators’ and leveraging ‘a very broad knowledge of all fields of Luxembourgish fund law’, Elvinger Hoss Prussen is well-positioned to advise a fund manager-focused client base on the structuring, operational and regulatory advisory aspects associated with both retail and alternative investment funds. The tone is set by team head Jacques Elvinger, who has ‘excellent insight and intel on market practice’ as a result of his many years’ fee-earning expertise, particularly in the UCITs market. Gast Juncker, who is ‘knowledgeable, humble and committed’, also excels at advising on the formation of UCITs and pursuant regulatory matters. Although he also handles some retail funds work, Jérôme Wigny is best-known for his alternatives expertise, with many high-profile fund sponsors appreciative of his ‘top notch know-how and technical expertise’. The ‘client oriented’ Joachim Cour is ‘very aware of market practice and has good industry knowledge’ across a range of alternative asset classes, including real estate and infrastructure. Sophie Laguesse is also recommended.
