Stibbe

Client Satisfaction
More informationMore information

The 'very responsive' and 'well-rounded' team at Stibbe provides 'top-notch and meaningful advice' to corporates, funds and financial institutions on the Luxembourg tax law implications, in particular, on cross-border transactions, as well as advising on the impact of relevant legislative changes at an EU level. Key to the team's success in the market is the leadership and fee-earning skills of Johan Léonard, whose combination of 'excellent technical knowledge with a great grasp for the needs of businesses' has increasingly led to the practice being a net exporter of work within the firm to other practice groups. A 'Luxembourg and international tax encyclopedia', Leonard combines 'strong academic credentials with a very pragmatic and practical approach to transactions and structuring projects', including within the private equity space.
