Loyens & Loeff

With a partner-led approach that is rooted in a deep understanding of Luxembourg law and the attendant judicial process, Loyens & Loeff excels in handling complex cross-border disputes, where clients receive 'tailored strategies that go beyond just resolving the legal issues, focusing on broader commercial outcomes'. Here, under the expert guidance of 'outstanding advocate' Véronique Hoffeld, the team is noted for its very collaborative approach to working with international co-counsel. Hoffeld, who is at the forefront of the most significant litigation and arbitration handled by the team, 'combines a mastery of Luxembourg procedure and substantive law with a strong commercial and tactical sense for how best to advance a client's interests'. Other key practitioners include corporate and white-collar crime expert Henri Dupong, and senior associate Olivier Marquais, who combines 'deep legal expertise with a highly practical, client-focused approach' on cross-border contracts and disputes related to the loss of investments, as well as on asset recovery proceedings.
