Linklaters Luxembourg’s investment funds practice is a cornerstone of the Luxembourg office and a key part of the firm’s global offering. Advising on asset management, fund servicing and investment fund structuring for all asset classes and investment types, our diverse team is widely recognised among leading industry players for its extensive expertise in UCITS, alternative investment funds (e.g. RAIFs, SIFs, ELTIFs), impact and ESG-driven fund structures and in particular in the structuring of bespoke complex and innovative investment vehicles covering various sectors such as real estate, private equity, private credit or infrastructure.


A particularity of our practice is that it efficiently combines investment management work and financial regulations work. The team is thus able to provide all-round service including full advice on regulatory structuring and governance issues, change of control notifications as well as obtaining financial sector licenses. In addition, clients value our close relationship with the Luxembourg regulator, the CSSF.
