Banking and Finance in Luxembourg

Ogier's team provides expert advice on all areas of Luxembourg banking regulation, documentation, security, and the establishment and operation of banking institutions for borrowers and lenders.

Our Luxembourg lawyers are specialists in fund finance, debt capital markets (DCM) (high yield), structured finance, subscription finance facilities, leveraged finance and the enforcement of assets in the context of restructuring mandates.

Ogier is particularly active for banks in facility agreements with investment funds, often working in conjunction with our offices in Jersey, Guernsey, Ireland and the Cayman Islands. Our lawyers also assist with real estate fund finance and amendments to existing credit facility agreements.

Our fund finance specialists have grown with the market and are among its leading advisers. Our Luxembourg lawyers are part of our CAYLUX service, a collaboration between our Cayman and Luxembourg teams on matters including fund finance, parallel funds, complex cross-border transactions and corporate migrations.

Lenders and sponsors say they appreciate our ability to provide ‘high quality, responsive and cost-effective advice’.
