Arendt & Medernach
Client SatisfactionThe ‘deal oriented’ team at Arendt & Medernach provides a ’high-quality’ service to a loyal and large pool of lenders and borrowers across the spectrum of new money financings, restructurings and regulatory matters. Matthieu Taillandier, who heads the firm’s transactional offering, advises lenders and borrowers on fund financing matters. On the capital markets front, François Warken has a strong grasp of regulatory and transactional procedures and remains a popular choice for issuers, in particular, across a plethora of debt and equity capital markets work. Displaying a ‘keen understanding of cross-border issues,’ Grégory Minne has ’quickly grown to be well respected in the banking field,’ handling new money and restructuring mandates. Glenn Meyer heads the overarching banking practice and handles AML and terrorist financing matters. Philippe Dupont also remains ‘a key figure in the Luxembourg market’, providing transactional, litigation and regulatory expertise to banking clients. At a more junior level Emmanuelle Mousel excels at regulatory matters, Nicolas Tintanne has a broad transactional finance practice and Dominik Pauly is ’an impressive expert in complex cross-border finance’ mandates, including those with a German nexus. Other recommended practitioners include founding partner Paul Mousel, for his insurance regulatory knowledge, and Laurent Schummer for equity capital markets work.
