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 (covering subscription finance facilities, NAV facilities, and more bespoke financings), debt capital markets (DCM) (high yield), structured finance, real estate finance, acquisition finance, leveraged finance and the enforcement of assets in the context of insolvency and restructuring mandates.

Ogier is particularly active for banks in cross-border financings, often working in conjunction with our offices in Jersey, Guernsey, Ireland and the Cayman Islands. 

Our fund finance specialists have grown with the market in the last decade and are among its leading advisers. Our Luxembourg lawyers can provide assistance round the clock for clients in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. They 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’.
