Luxembourg M&A, regulatory change, and the rise of a deal jurisdiction

Fifteen years ago, Luxembourg was a notable but secondary player in international mergers and acquisitions. Today it is a strategic jurisdiction for complex, multi-party transactions across Europe and beyond. What drove that transformation, and what does the next chapter look like?  M&A partners Fabien Beullekens and Jacques Graas trace the evolution of Luxembourg as a key M&A jurisdiction over the past decade and a half.   Drawing on their careers at the frontlines of this transformation, they examine the forces that shaped Luxembourg's rise: from the aftermath of the internet crisis and the global financial crisis, through the Brexit-driven expansion of Luxembourg's role in international arrangements, to the impact of an increasingly dense regulatory landscape on how deals are structured and advised.   M&A lawyers, investment professionals, and anyone tracking the evolution of Luxembourg as a deal-making center will leave this episode with a richer understanding of the forces that built the market and the ones that will shape it next.
