What does it take to run the legal team in one of the most profitable deal shops in the world? After months of discussions with private equity and leveraged finance partners at the leading law firms in London as well as a host of in-house lawyers, Legal Business has come up with the definitive list of the top London-based private equity GCs, with 24 making the grade.
Legal 500 returned to Luxembourg for the launch of the GC Powerlist: Luxembourg 2026, held in partnership with Loyens & Loeff. The reception brought together leading general counsel from across Luxembourg for an evening celebrating their achievements, leadership and influence within their organisations.
Frederic Franckx, Partner in the Corporate and M&A practice and Managing Partner of Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg, opened the event with welcoming remarks.
This was followed by a keynote speech by Ervin Zaljevic, Vice President and Head of Legal at BlackRock Luxembourg, who discussed the role of the GC and the future of legal leadership in Luxembourg.
Legal 500 thanks Loyens & Loeff for its support in recognising Luxembourg’s outstanding general counsel community and congratulates all those included in the GC Powerlist.
