Mathilde Lattard
Loyens & LoeffDeploying a collaborative approach which draws upon specialised insights from other associated practice areas, including funds, tax and banking, Loyens & Loeff provides 'well-rounded and comprehensive advice' across a range of big-ticket M&A initiated by both strategic and financial investors. Mathilde Lattard is 'very knowledgeable' about work within the private equity sector and provides 'pragmatic solutions' to funds, including EQT, throughout the investment lifecycle - not just on the M&A associated with their downstream activity but also in associated matters including advice on management incentive schemes. The 'outstanding' Ana Andreiana is 'able to think outside the box and find solutions to complex challenges' in the context of private equity-led M&A (including on public to private transactions) and with regard to de-SPAC mandates. The vastly experienced Guy Palmaers also handles SPAC-related matters as well as conventional M&A and a considerable volume of corporate governance advice. Michael Scott has a market-leading reputation for handling corporate restructuring work, a feature of which is a considerable volume of distressed M&A. Frédéric Franckx heads the team.
