Under the leadership of ‘five-star lawyer’ Namik Ramić, Dentons has successfully re-established itself in the Luxembourg market following a period of disruption several years ago (following some personnel changes) and has gained market traction among corporates and funds as a result of its ’fantastic level of service and value for money’. The team remains active across a range of industry sectors, including real estate and energy, where as well as involvement on M&A transactional work, it has also advised on divesting of non-core assets and on intra-company restructurings. Clients also benefit from an holistic service on pan-European deals by virtue of the team’s ability to leverage the firm's strong network presence throughout the continent and beyond.
