The 'commercially focused' team at Arendt & Medernach has 'an excellent understanding of market practice as well as local regulation and CSSF expectations', ensuring that it is a very popular choice among fund managers on their structuring and regulatory requirements. Although retail funds (including UCITS) continue to inform a significant proportion of its workflow, the team is also adept at advising across a range of alternative strategies, including as these relate to private debt and private equity. Here, the firm has been at the vanguard of developments in the market, which has seen it very well-placed to generate work from clients on newer structures including "Evergreen Funds", as well as the continued push towards impact investing.
