Arendt & Medernach is a popular choice for large multinational corporates, funds and banks seeking to resolve complex matters, often with an international complexion. Clara Mara-Marhuenda, who is able ‘to keep her focus in tense situations’ is across many of these areas of law both in relation to conventional litigation and arbitration and is consequently involved with great regularity in many of the cases handled by the team. Philippe-Emmanuel Partsch is the ’brain and spirit’ behind the firm’s EU and competition law practice, often appearing before regulatory authorities, EU and national courts in related disputes. Team head François Kremer is ‘a very smart lawyer who combines a great legal mind with a sense of strategy and wit,’ specialising in international matters, including asset tracing and corporate disputes. Other recommended practitioners include Philippe Dupont, who excels in financial services disputes, the ’terrific’ Christian Point, who focuses on real estate and construction disputes and Jean-Luc Putz, who heads up the business crime and white collar function at the firm.
