CMS
Drawing upon ‘a high level of expertise’ both from Luxembourg and its international offices, CMS is well-placed to advise clients on domestic and cross-border M&A and JV transactions, as well as in the context of the structuring and restructuring of corporate groups. In his role as head of the office’s corporate and private equity practices, a significant proportion of ’seasoned’ team head Gérard Maîtrejean's transactional deal flow relates to sponsor-led mandates. In addition, he is adept at assisting companies with corporate governance, joint venture transactions and corporate migrations.
