Linklaters

More informationMore information

Providing 'solutions-oriented and pragmatic advice' at all levels of seniority, Linklaters' Luxembourg team is a key component of the firm's overarching global private equity practice, regularly being plugged in to provide the relevant domestic law advice on large M&A transactions spanning multiple jurisdictions. The team, which is now headed by the 'creative and commercial' Rémy Bonneau, following the retirement in May 2024 of Nicolas Gauzès, is appreciated for its close working arrangement with clients, which according to one, feels more akin to being an 'extension of our legal department rather than the use of a third party service provider'. Bonneau excels in navigating through complicated and unusual structures both for financial sponsors acting on their own as well as part of a co-investment strategy, and is also well-versed in advising on portfolio company restructuring matters.
