The ‘responsive and business-oriented’ team at Loyens & Loeff delivers ’high-quality technical knowledge’ for large alternative funds and Luxembourg-based multinational corporates across the broad swathe of their compliance, structuring and transactional work. Often working closely with M&A, finance and fund structuring lawyers, the team is particularly well-known for its tax structuring work for large private equity sponsors and real estate funds. Newly promoted partner Tom Hamen has been very active on this front, both on new money deals including share and asset real estate transactions, and distressed/restructuring work. Hamen also handles some private client-related tax matters, as does the vastly experienced Peter Adriaansen. Adriaansen additionally provides advice to Luxembourg-based multinationals, including as it relates to Pillar 2 implications. Transfer pricing expert Peter Moons co-heads the team alongside Adriaansen. Also key are the ‘knowledgeable and client focused’ Pierre-Antoine Klethi, and Aline Nunes, whose international tax advisory offering includes a considerable amount of work for Brazilian clients.
