Stibbe
With a ‘deep knowledge of AIFMD and of the fund environment’, Stibbe has ’excellent market insight’ particularly across alternative asset strategies, where its ability to provide a one-stop-shop service across regulation, tax matters, negotiation, and fund structuring is appreciated by fund managers instructing the firm directly, as well as through referral from international law firms. Drawing upon a ‘profound understanding of the business landscape’, as well as the core legal and regulatory issues, Victorien Hémery has ’an unparalleled ability to quickly get to the root of complex issues’, particularly in the context of private equity matters. The ‘technically excellent and commercial’ Edouard d’Anterroches, who is also adept at handling private equity and private debt structuring matters as well as work for investors, co-heads the team alongside Hémery.
