Legal 500 is delighted to launch Legal 500’s GC Powerlist: Luxembourg 2026.

This year’s edition celebrates leading in-house counsel across Luxembourg.

The Powerlist recognises the important role in-house counsel play within their organisations. For GCs in Luxembourg, the role sits within a highly international and regulated business environment, requiring a close understanding of both the law and the organisations they advise.

The role of the in-house lawyer has also changed. Legal teams are involved in a wider range of business matters and work closely with colleagues across their organisations. This requires more than strong legal knowledge: it calls for sound judgement, clear communication and a practical approach to the issues businesses face.

Technology is another area of change. Artificial intelligence and other digital tools are becoming increasingly relevant to both businesses and legal teams, bringing new questions as well as new ways of working.

This year’s Powerlist celebrates the lawyers shaping the in-house profession in Luxembourg and the contribution they make to their organisations.
