Loyens & Loeff > The Legal 500 Rankings
Luxembourg > Banking, finance and capital markets Tier 1
Benefiting from a 'great knowledge of the market', Loyens & Loeff is well-placed to 'address a broad range of legal issues in the banking and finance sector' for both lenders and borrowers. The majority of the work relates to fund-backed financings, both in terms of new money acquisition mandates and refinancings, as well as in the provision of liquidity to funds. The 'outstanding' Vassiliyan Zanev is 'relentlessly focused on delivering deals on time and on budget' for borrowers and lenders in the fund space, as well as in relation to handling complex securitisation transactions. The 'top notch' Anne-Marie Nicolas co-heads the overarching banking team alongside Zanev and is appreciated by her fund-side client base for her ability to 'combine great technical skills, proactivity, and commercial attitude'. Her focus remains in connection with complex international debt restructurings and private equity financing transactions comprising bank loans, private and public bonds, with one client commenting: 'there is no equal in the Luxembourg market for sophisticated sponsor driven transactions'. On the way in, counsel Noemi Gemesi recently joined from Arendt & Medernach and now heads up the capital markets offering, while departures include Michael Schweiger, who joined Amazon Payment in April 2022 and Elie-Raphaël Soudry, who joined Goodwin in November 2022.
