Mourant completes Luxembourg rebranding and announces new banking and finance partner
20 February 2024
The new Luxembourg arm of law firm-led professional service business, Mourant, has officially transitioned to the Mourant brand as of today (20 February 2024).
Mourant expanded into Luxembourg last year, with the law firm, previously known as LexField, and governance services business, previously known as FideField, joining the Mourant global network.
This development has enabled Mourant to provide clients with legal, corporate and entity management services from Luxembourg, one of the world's leading international finance centres and the second largest global funds centre.
In a sign of things to come, Mourant has promoted the head of the Luxembourg office's Banking and Finance practice, Saniyé Tipirdamaz, to partner.
Saniyé joined the firm in 2022 and has extensive experience advising international financial institutions, groups of companies and investment funds on cross-border financings. She advises clients on all types of financial transactions, with a special focus on fund finance, acquisition finance and real estate finance, as well as restructuring and insolvency matters.
Mourant Global Managing Partner, Jonathan Rigby, commented:
"I'm delighted to welcome Saniyé to our global partnership and to announce the completion of our Luxembourg rebranding. These are important milestones in the growth and development of Mourant Luxembourg."
Mourant Luxembourg Partners, Pierre-Yves Magerotte and Aldric Grosjean added:
"We are delighted to celebrate the expansion of our team here in Luxembourg with the promotion of Saniyé. Already a valued member of the firm, she will play an important role in developing our first-class banking and finance offering. This is just the start of a period of significant investment as we actively seek to expand and enhance our offering."
