The current team around Mevlüde-Aysun TOKBAG has a strong market reputation in the Investment Funds activity that serves a diverse client base on their most sophisticated and complex transactions. The addition of prominent lawyer Luc Courtois will strongly consolidate the practice’s expertise.

Luc has over twenty-five years of experience in the Luxembourg legal market with a particular focus on setting up UCITS and other regulated and unregulated investment vehicles, including real estate, debt, private equity, and hedge funds. In addition to advising on AIFMD requirements, he assists management companies with obtaining their respective licenses and the development of their activities in Luxembourg and abroad. He also advises banking groups on the restructuring of their management companies in Luxembourg.

Before joining KLEYR GRASSO, Luc headed the Investment Funds practice of an international law firm, and before that, he was a founding partner of a renowned independent Luxembourg law firm.

He obtained his law degree from the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL) in 1993. He holds a Master of Law from Georgetown University Law Center (1995). Luc has been admitted to the Luxembourg Bar in 1994.

“Luc is a very knowledgeable practitioner in the funds' world. He has a deep experience in a large range of investment funds related structures and matters, and he is a perfect fit for our Investment Funds department and our wider Financial Services team,” said Marc KLEYR, Managing Partner. “We have now a strong investment funds practice and the arrival of Luc demonstrates the ability of our firm to attract top talents across all practice areas of law.”

“KLEYR GRASSO has an outstanding reputation and a leading market position in numerous practice areas. The combination of both the firm’s recent joining a global network of leading independent law firms and its collaborative culture will be of tremendous benefit to my clients," said Luc Courtois, “I am excited to join the team”.
