The French touch: The connections between France and Luxembourg have never been as important and numerous as today. Indeed, during the last few years French entrepreneurs have shown a real interest in the fast-evolving Luxembourg market.

In January 2016, as part of Arendt & Medernach’s continued international expansion, the firm opened the Paris representative office to react to the constant growth of the French market especially in the banking, investments funds and private equity sectors.

To answer this growing need for legal advice on investments and to facilitate the relationship with clients, the decision was taken to place a permanent team in Paris. This enables the firm to be more accessible, highly reactive, and to ensure a stronger local presence, and direct and constant support.

The team in the Paris office assists mainly clients active in the financial sector including banking, finance, private equity, real estate and hedge funds/assets managers, retail funds managers, multinational companies, private wealth and insurance companies.

Luxembourg, a European hub: The Luxembourg office of Arendt & Medernach, which is also the head office of the firm, was founded in 1988. Since its establishment with four founding partners, the firm has expanded considerably and now counts more than 450 legal experts. The teams are multi-cultural with more than 30 languages spoken. As the largest Luxembourg law firm, Arendt & Medernach provides clients with high-quality advice combining an in-depth understanding of the financial markets with specialised knowledge of the law. The service is characterised by a flexible approach and a responsive attitude to client relationships
