Lawyers for funds

Tighter regulation and an increasingly complex tax environment make high demands on investment management companies, investors and other market players. Our fund lawyers provide expert support in all matters relating to collective asset management and investment in funds, from regulatory law to tax law.

Building on a deep understanding of each of the asset classes, our experts advise on launching and structuring funds as well as on compliance issues. Where necessary, they call in specialists from areas such as private equity, real estate, infrastructure and energy.

Our lawyers also advise funds, their managers and distribution partners on in-court and out-of-court dispute resolution, in particular when facing investor lawsuits. 

The advice provided by our lawyers for asset management, funds and investment law is not restricted to a single jurisdiction. Clients benefit from the worldwide CMS organisation – including in Luxembourg, Europe’s leading investment fund location.

The contact details of our lawyers for fund matters are listed below. Please do not hesitate to get in touch.
