The 'very commercial' team at Stibbe provides a 'high quality and cost-effective service' to creditors and debtors on loan deals, securitizations, capital market transactions, and reorganizations. Under the leadership of the 'outstanding' Jean-Marc Delcour, the team has built up particularly strong relationships with US law firms which frequently refer it work to advise on the Luxembourg law aspects of large cross-border deals. Private equity-led mandates remain a mainstay of the practice, although it has also continued to boost its real estate and capital markets offerings.
