Praised for its ability to ’work seamlessly with other offices in the network’, the team is particularly effective at advising on cross-border fund structures and is praised for its ability to straddle ‘the cross-section of EU/Luxembourg law/practice and US asset managers’. Team head Mathieu Volcrick ’has deep experience and a practical approach to problem solving’, including within the private equity and real estate funds space.
