Since it absorbed much of Wildgen’s legacy practice when that firm disbanded in July 2022, Pinsent Masons has effectively leveraged the ties Wildgen had with the larger international footprint at its disposal to good effect, when aiding fund managers engaged in a myriad of alternative investment strategies. Mark Shaw, who splits his time between London and Luxembourg, ‘understands both markets’ and has developed a specialism in assisting UK-based clients with expanding their offering into Luxembourg, supported by senior associate Dady Kasa-Vubu. The team’s core Luxembourg offering was also recently enhanced by the arrival of Benoît Rose, who now heads the group after departing Ogier in August 2023; Jan Saalfrank, who departed Arendt & Medernach in February 2023; as well as Lissie Goldbach, who joined from AKD in May 2023.
