Our Bank Lending, Structured Finance & Securitisation team represents our clients in every aspect of their bank lending and structured finance deals.

Our leading securitisation team regularly advises originators and arrangers on securitisation transactions carried out by securitisation undertakings, whether regulated or unregulated, established under the Luxembourg law of March 22, 2004, as amended. 

We have extensive experience with the securitisation, both true sale and synthetic, of different asset classes such as auto loan and leasing receivables, credit card receivables, performing and non-performing loans.


Together with our capital markets and tax teams, we provide a full range of services to successfully launch large securitisation programs, including setting up multi-billion Euro securitisation platforms and obtaining regulatory approval of securitisation undertakings.


Our lawyers also provide assistance in bank lending transactions by drafting documents and structuring appropriate security packages to take advantage of the Luxembourg security legal framework. We represent domestic and international lenders and borrowers on a wide range of financing transactions including:

  • Senior and subordinated financings
  • Project and acquisition financings
  • Asset-backed financings
  • Commercial and residential mortgage-backed loans.
