Although it is a relatively small team, Hogan Lovells (Luxembourg) LLP punches above its weight, providing a 'high-quality service' to corporates and funds on the Luxembourg structuring associated with large-scale M&A transactions led by other offices at the firm. Team head Alexander Koch is at the forefront of this work, acting alongside the London office on some recent major sell-side secondary transactions, and with his German colleagues on corporate real estate and energy mandates. At counsel level Benoit Serraf is also recommended.
