KLEYR GRASSO has a 'deep knowledge of the Luxembourg market', while also remaining 'attentive to the commercial realities driving the deal', ensuring it is often involved in some big-ticket buy and sell-side cross-border M&A transactions. This cross-border work also includes a considerable amount of restructuring mandates, an area in which the 'strategic and detail-oriented' Delphine Tempé is particularly well-versed alongside her new money mandates for private equity sponsors. The 'responsive and pragmatic' Renata Jokubauskaite is very adept at handling intra-company reorganisations, as well as advising on investor and investee-side work in the start-up space. The 'skilled and thoughtful' Pierre-Alexandre Degehet co-heads the team alongside Tempé, Jokubauskaite and Jean-Paul Spang, the latter advising large listed companies.
