Tax
With an 'outstanding knowledge of current Luxembourg tax rules and how they impact clients acting in an international environment', Mourant is very well-suited to advising on the tax structuring for strategic and financial investors on cross-border M&A. In addition, the team is also skilled at handling advisory and contentious work for private clients, including HNWIs and family offices. The 'exceptional' Eléonore Galleron has very effectively eased into the role of team head following the departure in June 2024 of Pierre-Yves Magerotte, and is appreciated for her ability to 'make the link between pure tax questions and pragmatic business-oriented solutions'.
