Launched with an initial focus on the financial services sector, the firm’s seventh office in continental Europe provides significant benefit to Pinsent Masons’ clients, particularly corporate and investment fund clients in UK, Ireland, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, the Netherlands, and France.

Founded in 1923, Wildgen was one of the largest and oldest independent law firms in Luxembourg and served an international client base across the financial services, energy, technology, real estate and infrastructure sectors.

Richard Foley, senior partner at Pinsent Masons, said: “Luxembourg is an economic and trading centre that is of global importance. Expanding into the region strengthens our presence across continental Europe and broadens our ability to deliver cross-border expertise for clients operating within our core sectors.

“The partners and other colleagues who have joined us in Luxembourg represent a highly credible and experienced team with a strong reputation in the market. They share values that closely align with Pinsent Masons’ purpose of making business work better for people and are also passionate about driving efficiencies in the delivery of legal services.”

Michel Bulach, head of the Luxembourg offices, added: “Pinsent Masons has a strong European network, recognised for its seamless connectivity. The addition of our Luxembourg presence makes us one of few firms with capabilities that span the region in this way. Not only do we present a strong financial services offering, but the breadth of experience across our Luxembourg partners means we launch as a full-service firm.”
