She advises on cross-border and domestic financing, and assists lenders and corporate clients on restructuring deals involving the enforcement of Luxembourg security interests. Armel also acts for creditors in open insolvency cases for both regulated and unregulated Luxembourg based entities.
Her practice involves the provision of day-to-day advice to banks and financial institutions on various topics, such as contract law and regulatory issues.
She is also an accomplished litigator and acts as legal counsel for a wide array of institutional and corporate clients before arbitration tribunals and Luxembourg judicial courts. Over the years, she has demonstrated her natural talent for negotiation and pleadings, and has successfully dealt with an extensive range of intricate legal issues (such as shareholder disputes, banking liability and director liability).
Armel’s academic activities as a lecturer at the University of Luxembourg (in contract law) and the Luxembourg Bar School (in personal guarantees and property security rights), as well as her numerous publications in high-profile legal journals in Luxembourg led to her appointment as legal expert in international arbitration cases.
