Lawyer Rankings

Luxembourg > Commercial, corporate and M&A

As well as continuing to handle a significant volume of smaller domestic transactions, the ‘outstanding’ team at Strelia is an increasingly prominent presence in relation to the Luxembourg structuring of sophisticated private equity-led cross-border M&A. The primary reason for the firm’s increased prominence in this segment of the market is the work of Vanessa Schmitt and Michaël Meylan, who since joining from Strelia in June 2022, have successfully developed strong connections with a raft of major funds and with referring international law firms. Etienne de Crépy co-heads the team alongside Schmitt and Meylan.

Luxembourg > Private equity

Increasingly focused on private equity-led M&A work since the arrival of Michaël Meylan and Vanessa Schmitt from Stibbe in June 2022, the ‘outstanding’ team at business law firm boutique Strelia ‘stands out for its seamless combination of legal excellence with a highly client-focused approach’. Under their expert leadership, as well as providing some advice as lead counsel (particularly on sell side roles), the team regularly works alongside international law firms providing the relevant Luxembourg structuring pursuant to cross-border M&A transactions, including a considerable amount with a French connection.
