Our story
Founded in 2005, Chevalier & Sciales is an independent Luxembourg law firm advising entrepreneurial families, international family offices, asset managers, general partners, financial institutions and international businesses on Luxembourg investment management, corporate, tax and private wealth matters.
With more than two decades of experience in Luxembourg’s financial sector and longstanding roots in the alternative investment fund industry, our practice has developed alongside Luxembourg’s emergence as one of the world’s leading international financial centres.
Alongside our longstanding investment fund practice, our work has evolved to reflect the increasingly diverse ways in which private and institutional capital is invested. We advise on investment funds as well as dedicated investment structures and specific investment opportunities, including equity and debt investments, club deals, co-investments and other arrangements involving families, entrepreneurs and investors. Our work frequently involves related holding and financing structures and cross-border transactions tailored to the investment, the investors involved and their respective objectives.
Our investment management and private wealth capabilities are complemented by established corporate, tax, banking and dispute resolution practices. This multidisciplinary approach enables us to address different aspects of a transaction or structure within a single Luxembourg team, while maintaining the specialist expertise required for complex matters.
Our corporate practice encompasses acquisitions and divestments, private equity transactions, joint ventures, restructurings and other corporate matters. Our tax practice works closely with our investment management, private wealth and corporate teams on the Luxembourg tax aspects of investment structures and transactions. We also have significant experience in litigation, arbitration and financial disputes, including complex commercial and cross-border proceedings.
Our approach combines technical Luxembourg expertise with an understanding of the commercial and investment considerations underlying our clients’ transactions. As an independent firm, we work closely with leading law firms and professional advisers in other jurisdictions, allowing us to coordinate Luxembourg matters within broader international transactions and structures.
We favour direct partner involvement, short decision-making lines and practical advice, particularly where matters bring together several areas of law or require coordination between investors, businesses and advisers across jurisdictions.
Since our foundation, we have built the firm around long-term client relationships, independence and a commitment to providing sophisticated Luxembourg advice with a personal and responsive approach.
