About this event

The attractiveness of the Luxembourg partnership regime has reignited with the new law on Luxembourg limited partnerships. Recent changes make Luxembourg a desirable jurisdiction in which to establish alternative investment funds, with a high degree of flexibility and contractual freedom. So how does the Luxembourg partnership offering weigh against its UK counterpart ?

Laurent and Andrew will address the main tax and legal advantages of the new Luxembourg Limited Partnership and provide insight and comparative overview with the UK Limited Partnership.

Laurent Schummer is a Partner at Arendt & Medernach and Head of the firm’s Corporate, Tax and Capital Markets business unit. In addition to general company law, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and group restructuring matters, Laurent also handles takeover, equity offering and listing matters. Laurent is also very active in upstream (fund structuring, including SICARs) and downstream (acquisition structuring) private equity work.

Laurent Schummer has also worked intensively on the Limited Partnership Reform during the course of its elaboration.

Andrew Knight is a Partner at M Partners and principally focuses on international corporate tax and structuring. His work has involved numerous different jurisdictions with a high level of specialisation in relation to Luxembourg and South African corporate tax. He also has over 25 years of experience (including 10 years with mainstream UK law firms) in managing and structuring a wide range of corporate and commercial transactions involving a broad range of legal entities (including Limited Partnerships) and jurisdictions.
