Acting on its own and collaborating well with other relevant practice groups, as well as lawyers in different firmwide offices, the 'reactive and pragmatic' team at Hogan Lovells (Luxembourg) LLP provides 'comprehensive guidance' to clients across a range of direct and indirect tax matters. As well as being very conversant with private capital-related issues (both on fund set-ups and downstream investments), team head Gérard Neiens  provides 'exceptional advice' in relation to complex financing and restructuring mandates for creditors and debtors.
