We provide full legal and tax support to clients pursuing international expansion strategies. We have seen growing interest from Iberian clients in cross-border service provision as well as from Latin American companies seeking to establish a European presence via our home markets. By way of example, we have assisted clients with capital raising by means of bond issuances, the relocation of headquarters with tax efficient structures, or acquisitions of different types of regulated and unregulated companies. We regularly advise leading Spanish banks and Latin American corporates and financial conglomerates on doing business in all our home markets and in particular Luxembourg.

A substantial part of our clients are financial institutions, private clients, and corporations active in infrastructure, aviation, food & beverage, technology & telecom or energy. We provide them with innovative legal advice in all aspects of their business such as tax, M&A transactions, capital markets, financial regulatory, fund structuring, litigation and banking & finance law matters. Our global perspective on their business enables us to better understand their needs and ambitions, allowing us to support them more effectively in their pursuit of success.

Baker McKenzie Luxembourg: practice areas and international clients

Established over 15 years ago, our Luxembourg office is known for its expertise in banking and finance, investment funds, corporate/M&A, real estate, tax, employment, and dispute resolution. We regularly advise Spanish-speaking clients, from private equity houses and asset managers to institutional investors and international firms, on matters requiring both technical knowledge and cultural sensitivity.

Our work is inherently international, involving not only Spain but also Latin American jurisdictions, and our team manages this complexity through close collaboration with colleagues in Spain and across Latin America. Spanish, like other languages, enriches our interactions by fostering cultural sensitivity and trust.

Our professionals’ cultural and legal backgrounds strengthen our Spanish/Latin American connections. Many colleagues have studied or worked in Spanish-speaking countries, adding significant depth and nuance to our services.
