    Stibbe

    Stibbe boasts a ‘rare combination between highly skilled lawyers and business savviness’ in its corporate and finance team, which often handles the advisory, transactional, compliance, and litigation elements of cross-border matters. It has particular strength in private equity matters, and regularly handles restructurings. At the helm of the team, Stefan Odeurs often advises funds on their investments in leveraged transactors. Jan Peeters specialises in both public and private M&A, as does Pascal Vanden Borre, while Jan Bogaert is a go-to for strategic and industrial M&A, including in the infrastructure, energy and technology industries.
