Arendt & Medernach

Client Satisfaction

With strong industry knowledge and leveraging 'excellent links with the regulator', Arendt & Medernach continues to thrive in the market, regularly acting for many of the world's largest insurance/reinsurance companies on issues relating to their Luxembourg operations. Team head Pierre-Michaël de Waersegger is steeped in the nuances of the industry and as well as frequently providing standalone regulatory advice, also plays a key role, working alongside the firm's corporate/private equity lawyers, on M&A in the sector. He also advises insurance/reinsurance groups subject to regulatory investigations, as does the 'excellent' Emmanuelle Mousel, who continues to build out her impressive body of work in the sector, including with regard to ESG compliance. Experienced litigator Christian Point often handles disputes in the sector, including as it relates to coverage and liability issues.
