The 'solutions-oriented and responsive' team at DLA Piper Luxembourg excels in handling local and cross-border matters, including as these relate to corporate and private equity-backed M&A, group restructurings and corporate real estate transactions. Catherine Pogorzelski is deeply immersed in the investment fund sector, providing clients with a true one-stop-shop service on initial fund structuring and the pursuant downstream investment work. Promoted to the partnership in May 2025, a recognition of her growing stature in the market, Melody Brunot acts on her own as well as often alongside Pogorzelski, on the structuring associated with fund-backed M&A, including handling a considerable amount of work for investors and investees in the technology sector. Caroline Pimpaud co-heads the team alongside Pogorzelski.
