Thierry Lesage has a ’highly sophisticated understanding of tax laws’, and excels at handling cross-border M&A, real estate and finance transactions, adding value through his knowledge of ‘how Luxembourg tax considerations interface with multi-jurisdictional planning’. As well as his expertise in private equity and real estate tax matters, Eric Fort is also well-versed in handling private client-related work and regularly advises on the tax aspects of wealth planning for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs).
