Elvinger Hoss Prussen provides 'high-quality and responsive' advice to stakeholders across a broad array of transactional banking and capital markets work, and financial services regulatory matters. Much of the transactional activity centres on investment management-related needs, whether for internal financing or external investments. In this context, the 'solutions-driven and strongly business oriented' Karl Pardaens excels at handling fund-level and downstream acquisition finance mandates, as well as work in relation to the listing of exchange traded funds (ETFs), and the emergence of digital bond issuances. Philippe Hoss also handles a considerable amount of fund-side instructions, including for private equity sponsors exiting through an IPO, work which forms part of a strong overarching capital markets practice that also includes advice on Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) listings. Clients also benefit from access to a dedicated financial services regulatory offering, with very experienced partners Henri Wagner and Pit Reckinger and the more junior partner Tiago Nogueira adding value for banks, funds and fintech entities seeking to navigate the ever-evolving regulatory landscape in Luxembourg and the EU, with support from André Hoffmann. Reckinger and Hoss co-head the overarching banking, finance and capital markets team alongside Katia Panichi.
