Transactional and holistic practice

VANDENBULKE specializes only in representation for complex Corporate Finance transactions rather than across the board representation.

VANDENBULKE provides for each advised transaction a holistic approach offering to our clients an adequate fusion of 'corporate', 'finance' and 'tax' competences.

Instead of purely adding individual expertises or relying on a multitude of groups of lawyers focusing on different products, we derive significant competitive advantages from the synergy of our specialists and our team-prevalence approach. In addition, this strategy allows us to build up our expertise from a variety of specific corporate finance deals that we advise, instead of recycling deals like traditional firms.
One-stop station for International Investors



We also offer a one-stop station for international institutional investors electing the Luxembourg jurisdiction for their investment platform and provide a full-service assistance for setting up their investment vehicle, including the provision of incorporation, accounting and tax assistance. We act as an incubator and an accelerator to allow them to initiate smoothly and swiftly their operations in Luxembourg with a minimum of constraints.

Because of our specialized resources, we can offer specialized and customized advice to the Luxembourg market which is too small to interest global and larger firms. Moreover, world largest law firms, when advising multiple-jurisdictions transactions, retain VANDENBULKE to deal all Luxembourg aspects of the transaction and virtually integrate its Luxembourg team, as a joint partner, into their own organization.

Drawing lessons from the latest developments in artificial intelligence, digitalization, VANDENBULKE aims at leading technologically and technically the Luxembourg legal market in avoiding to require from his lawyers needless cut/paste or pushing-documents exercises but on focusing in areas of expertise for which they can bring real analytical skills.
