Corporate Law / M&A

Our range of advisory services

From Incorporation to Exit Planning
The correct legal form of a company builds the framework and foundation for business activities. Cross-border business transactions demand international corporate law solutions. Cross-border mergers of companies, international transfers of registered offices, the right choice of domestic or foreign legal form comprising a European corporation, all create scope for design as well as challenges. The Corporate / M&A practice of Luther Luxembourg works with clients during the entire lifecycle of an organization: from its incorporation and ordinary transactional activity to exit planning and implementation.
