Financial and corporate
The team at Kleyr Grasso is recognised for its strengths in M&A and investment funds work. In those areas it is regularly engaged by hedge funds, insurance companies and private equity houses on mandates.
In the financial and corporate space, the firm’s work largely revolves around advising those clients on a range of investments and regulatory matters. In a notable mandate, the firm assisted Sealed Air Corporation in relation with the sale of its Diversey Care division by advising on Luxembourg elements.
Similarly, the investment funds team focuses on handling the inward investments of those clients into a variety of Luxembourg-registered vehicles. In this space, a clear highlight saw the firm advise Corestate Capital Holding in setting up an Alternative Investment Fund and the acquisition of a property by that fund in Seville.
Notable staffing changes during the research period include the arrival of corporate counsel Renata Jokubauskaite from Jeantet.
Among the firm’s key clients are Blackstone, GSO Capital Partners and TA Associates.
