The team comprised partner Katia Gauzès, senior advisor Lauren Harris and associates Konrad Kanaan, Megi Bllaca, Cristina Mudure and Camille Fantozzi (all Corporate, Luxembourg), partner Marc Mehlen, counsel Audrey Mucciante and associate Donald Sefer (all Finance, Luxembourg), partner Geoffrey Scardoni and counsel Maxime Budzin (both Tax, Luxembourg), partner Jenine Hulsman and associate Sophie Halls (both Corporate, London), partner Owen Lysak and associate Paula Caamaño Sambade (both Finance, London).
