Our expertise in all areas of Luxembourg business law as well as our hands-on experience in its daily application within the private and public sectors enable us to help the Luxembourg state, its ministries and institutions effectively in both long-term and short-term issues and specifically:

legal and regulatory consequences of international developments, such as the UK’s departure from the EU
drafting of legislation
day-to-day challenges including administrative law, public procurement, employment law and litigation

Municipalities and other local organisations often face complex legal matters, encompassing elements of administrative and civil law.
