Our Team
 
The Luxembourg office is part of Eversheds Sutherland’s wider Benelux offering, which also includes our teams in Brussels and the Netherlands. As a fast-growing and ambitious practice, the Benelux team advises clients on both domestic and international matters, working closely with colleagues across the global Eversheds Sutherland network.
 
Our lawyers in the Benelux are active in a range of key practice areas, including M&A, Financial Services, Banking & Finance, Tax, Corporate Notarial Services, Litigation, Real Estate & Planning, Employment & Pensions, and Data, Privacy & Technology. Together, we serve clients across sectors such as industrials, TMT, energy, financial institutions, and life sciences.
 
The Role
 
Due to our continued growth, we are recruiting an Associate to join our Corporate and Finance team in Luxembourg.
 
This is an exciting opportunity to work directly with one of our Partners, Holger Holle, who is recognised for his expertise in business and corporate law, particularly in national and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, and corporate restructurings. Holger is frequently recommended as “Foreign Expert – Luxembourg” by Chambers Global and is also recognised by Best Lawyers for corporate law. He is supported by two senior Associates based in Luxembourg.
 
The successful candidate will work closely with Holger and his team on a broad range of corporate and finance matters. The core of the team’s work focuses on corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate reorganisations. In addition, the team is involved in Luxembourg banking law matters, often working in collaboration with colleagues in the UK, France, and Germany. While the role is primarily corporate-focused, there will also be opportunities to gain exposure to finance work—offering a valuable mix for junior lawyers interested in both areas.
 
This is a unique opportunity to join a high-calibre, cross-border practice and gain hands-on experience in both corporate and finance matters within a supportive, collaborative team environment.

This is reflected in our policies, systems and processes, and in our work with diversity membership organisations.
