Combining 'legal excellence with commercial foresight', Elvinger Hoss Prussen 'creates added value' for stakeholders on domestic M&A transactions, as well as on cross-border mandates utilising a Luxembourg holding company structure. Toinon Hoss is key to much of this work, leveraging very strong relationships with private equity clients, in particular, to good effect on their downstream investments and exits, as well as in the context of advice on co-investment structures and joint ventures. Drawing upon 'strong knowledge of the Luxembourg jurisdiction law and market', Katia Panichi has gained the reputation as a trusted adviser to clients, including Asia-based companies (in part due to her previous role as head of the firm's Hong Kong office), who are seeking advice on Luxembourg structuring issues. As well as handling some transactional work, Pit Reckinger is also very well-versed at advising on ongoing corporate and commercial matters, including the corporate governance and regulatory concerns of clients in the financial services sector. Philippe Hoss, who is adept at handling corporate and capital markets work, including as it relates to SPACs, co-heads the team alongside Toinon Hoss and Panichi.
