Stibbe provides 'very high-quality and responsive advice' directly to clients, as well as in the context of referral work from international law firms (including a large number of major US firms) which seek out the team's guidance on the Luxembourg law issues related to cross-border transactions. The private equity sector remains a fertile source of work, with longstanding fund clients including Investindustrial and KKR continuing to regularly instruct the team on the Luxembourg structuring associated with their downstream investments. 'Outstanding' team head Gérald Origer provides 'pragmatic but academically sound' advice across corporate, finance and regulatory matters, a versatility that ensures clients receive strong continuity on deals. The 'very pragmatic and business-oriented' Claire-Marie Darnand is also recommended.
