Although it does handle some M&A due diligence and advice on corporate governance matters, the 'hands-on and responsive' team at Brucher Thieltgen & Partners is best-known for its corporate restructuring and insolvency expertise. In this context, the team, which is led by Nicolas Bernardy, advises both creditors and debtors and is particularly skilled at leveraging its broader litigation credentials to good effect on contentious insolvency matters. The 'outstanding' Philippe Sylvestre combines 'technical excellence with strong commercial judgement' on matters throughout the corporate lifecycle. Both Bernardy and Sylvestre are frequently appointed by the Luxembourg courts to act as liquidators.
