Boutique independent business law firm SJL Jimenez Lunz provides 'practical, commercial and responsive' advice to banks and funds across a range of loan and capital markets transactions. Much of the work is of a cross-border nature, with the team building up strong relationships with a number of international law firms which entrust it to advise on the Luxembourg law matters associated with cross-border mandates. The team is co-headed by the 'very reliable and extremely competent' Michel Jimenez Lunz - whose eclectic practice includes real estate finance work - and the 'technically excellent' Antoine Fortier Grethen, who excels at handling fund financings.
