Drawing upon a 'strong knowledge of the legal and regulatory framework' in Luxembourg and the EU, Loyens & Loeff can deliver 'commercially minded and practical' solutions to global and European asset managers investing in a broad range of different alternative asset classes. Led by Marc Meyers, the firm works very well with international law firms as co-counsel and is skilled at handling work throughout the fund life-cycle, to include fundraising/structuring, fund finance, ongoing regulatory compliance advice, restructuring and advice on continuation strategies or liquidation.  Private equity represents a core area of expertise, with the firm—working in close coordination with New York-based Frank van Kuijk — maintaining strong engagement with leading US sponsors to advise on their EU-based fundraising deal structuring efforts. With experience gained through time spent at the firm's London office, Jérôme Mullmaier brings 'clarity and strategic insight to complex matters', including for UK-based asset managers utilising Luxembourg fund structures to facilitate private equity, infrastructure and private debt strategies. At an associate level, Maider Ruault provides 'high-quality support with precision and professionalism' to international sponsors on the regulatory and operational aspects of Luxembourg alternative funds.
