Drawing upon an 'exceptionally reliable grounding in black letter law and regulation together with practicality and commercial awareness', Ogier is popular among fund managers for the establishment and ongoing compliance matters relating to alternative investment funds. In this context, the team, which is led by the 'results-driven and very proactive’ Anne-Gaëlle Delabye, is particularly appreciated for its ability to advise on Luxembourg/Cayman parallel fund structures which remain a popular investment vehicle for sophisticated fund managers seeking to access European, US and Asian capital. Dual Luxembourg and German qualified managing associate Milan Hauber is praised for his 'responsive and practical advice', regularly working alongside Delabye on matters relating to private equity, venture capital and debt funds. Former co-head Benoît Rose joined Pinsent Masons in July 2023.
