Loyens & Loeff > Luxembourg, Luxembourg > Firm Profile

‘The team is pragmatic and experienced.’

‘The hugely knowledgeable banking team is very responsive and client-oriented.’

‘I consider this team an extension of myself – they work hand in glove with us as a trusted partner on the Luxembourg legs of our transactions, assisting with complex capital markets and banking matters, including taking of security, issuing of bonds and liaising with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and securities regulator (depending on the nature of the deal).’

‘They understand the client’s local concerns with a global perspective.’

‘It is an excellent team that is very proactive and technically savvy.’

‘Vassiliyan Zanev is commercial, responsive and knowledgeable about his clients’ businesses.’

‘Anne-Marie Nicolas is incredibly approachable, friendly and knowledgeable on all aspects of Luxembourg law affecting financing transactions.’

‘Very professional, serious lawyers, with excellent legal knowledge of Luxembourg financial law and how it fits into the global financial picture.’

‘Veronique Hoffeld is very authoritative and experienced.’

‘Veronique Hoffeld is able to synthesise a complex case and come up with novel strategies to achieve unconventional objectives.’

‘Veronique Hoffeld and Henri Dupong are both at the pinnacle of their profession – creative, pragmatic, and professional. Both had different yet very complementary styles and skillsets that are synergistic and beneficial to the client (not because, but despite the fact that Veronique and Henri are colleagues at the same firm). The sum is often greater than its parts, but with Veronique & Henri, there was more a “je ne sais quoi” element.’

‘Olivier Marquais has great legal knowledge and attention to detail.’

‘Henri Dupong is conscientious, and his attention to detail is second to none. If a client ever finds themselves in a bet-the-company litigation scenario, Henri is the lawyer you want on your team.’

‘Loyens & Loeff has a great knowledge of regulatory, commercial and tax issues relevant to setting up investment funds and are pragmatic and responsive. They show great commercial awareness when providing their advice and focus on practical outcomes, rather than just technical detail.’

‘The team is thoughtful and engaged. Their availability is excellent – they are a busy team and manage to get though a lot and are responsive. They are generally commercially minded. I would say a key goal to ensure consistency across the team in this regard.’

‘The Loyens team have gained good experience in dealing with large and prestigious fund-raisings for the likes of EQT and have a good expertise across the various practice areas that feed into the fundraising process and the wider structuring considerations under Luxembourg law (e.g. their finance team; deal structuring team; tax and regulatory etc). This enables them to advise well on various Luxembourg aspects of fundraisings and complexities with the various types of vehicles used (Sarls, SCAs, SCSPs, RAIFs etc).’

‘Veronica Aroutiunian has taken the lead on many of our matters and is very strong lawyer, combining technical knowledge with commercial awareness.’
