Loyens & Loeff

Headed by Marc Meyers, Loyens & Loeff's 'outstanding' team, which is able to leverage the expertise of highly integrated tax, regulatory, M&A and fund finance lawyers at the firm, can provide 'thoughtful and actionable' advice to fund managers across the full life-cycle of work in the alternatives space. Private equity is a particular area of expertise, and in harness with New York based Frank van Kuijk, the firm retains strong traction among a number of heavy-hitting US sponsor clients, either acting on its own or alongside US referring law firms, and is appreciated for its 'good sense of market terms'. Veronica Aroutiunian is also very skilled at advising on regulatory and structuring work associated with the private equity industry, and is also well-versed at advising fund managers on other alternatives strategies, including real estate, infrastructure and private debt. Jérôme Mullmaier has a 'high awareness of the regulatory complexities of Luxembourg', ensuring that he is able to provide 'commercial' advice on the structuring, launch and fundraising activity of private funds across a wide range of strategies, including private equity, infrastructure, private debt and real estate.
