Loyens & Loeff fields an ‘exceptionally bright and adaptable’ team, often advising bondholders, lenders, investors, debtors, shareholders, and creditors on major cross-border restructurings. Its particular expertise regarding financial restructuring, along with the combination of transactional and litigation expertise within the team, are standout elements of the practice. Team head Vanessa Marquette ’consistently delivers excellent results’ in the pre-insolvency phase and during judicial reorganisation proceedings. Marc Vermylen brings banking and finance expertise, and Kris De Schutter is a key name for matters with employment law elements. Jens De Winne left the firm in March 2025.
