We also handle all types of banking litigation issues including fraud and crisis management, and assist our clients in mediation procedures before the financial sector supervisory authority, the Commission de surveillance du secteur financier (CSSF).

We maintain a close relationship with the authorities through our presence on various advisory bodies of the CSSF, the Ministry of Finance and the Luxembourg Bankers Association, and through our active involvement in the legislative drafting process.
