Since joining from Loyens & Loeff in March 2022, Cédric Raffoul has galvanised PwC Legal Luxembourg's finance offering, providing a ‘very responsive and proactive’ service to borrowers, in particular across a range of new money and restructuring mandates. Although he is best-known for his capital markets transactional work, Raffoul has also ’recently added regulatory and fintech to his skills.’
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'The firm has excellent capabilities in Luxembourg for capital markets, regulatory and fintech matters.'
‘PwC Legal Luxembourg is the one-stop shop for all Luxembourg legal issues. Particularly relevant is their cross-border capabilities, and I have had great experience working with them on orphan Luxembourg SPV 144A/Reg S notes issuances.’
‘They are very responsive and proactive - it would be easy for them to take a more passive role given that their involvement in our cross-border deals is typically limited to Luxembourg issues, but this is not the approach they take, which is greatly appreciated as it keeps the ball rolling forward on all fronts.’
‘Cédric Raffoul is one of the few experts in Luxembourg's capital markets and recently added regulatory and fintech to his skills.’
'The team is extremely responsive and know what they are doing; they are a pleasure to work with.'
