Often working particularly closely with the firm’s acclaimed tax practice, the ‘very skilled and responsive’ team at Loyens & Loeff provides an end-to-end service to investors, banks, developers and funds across the full scope of real estate work throughout the life-cycle of a project. Praised for his willingness to look for ’constructive solutions’, team head Julien Lecler is appreciated by clients in the investment phase, as well as in the context of real estate management issues, to include advice on leases. Other key contacts include tax expert Tom Hamen, who is increasingly sought out by German speaking clients on Luxembourg real estate matters, and Audrey Jarreton for real estate finance matters. The firm’s investment management team also regularly advises on real estate fund formation transactions.
