The ‘dynamic’ team at Mourant continues to grow its offering for private equity clients, with ’brilliant’ fund structuring expert Lara Forte being the latest to join, following her arrival from Arendt & Medernach in February 2025. She adds further weight behind a team that is well placed to provide end-to-end legal support across the full private equity transaction lifecycle. For M&A work, the team is led from the front by the ‘highly knowledgeable’ Aldric Grosjean, who is regularly first port of call for international funds and referring law firms to provide advice on the Luxembourg-related structuring aspects of complex cross-border transactions. The ’results oriented and pragmatic’ Jan Dobrzensky is also a vital resource to clients and is appreciated for his ‘creativity and ideas in the context of Luxembourg SPV structuring’.
