Linklaters

Led from Luxembourg by Rémy Bonneau and able to leverage vast international resources throughout the firm’s global network of offices, Linklaters provides a ‘responsive and very service-oriented’ offering to many large financial sponsors on their cross-border M&A mandates. As well as his traditional private equity work, which includes advice on public-to-private transactions and deals in the infrastructure field, Bonneau also regularly handles M&A work for sovereign wealth funds. Much of Manfred Müller’s corporate and M&A work is centred around the private equity space, both big-ticket and mid-market deals, with recent mandates including bolt-on transactions for a major financial investor. Other key contacts include recently promoted partner Florence Forster, whose workflow includes advice on co-investment structures and management incentive plans, and Catherine Kremer, whose private equity experience also includes work for infrastructure-focused funds.
