A&O Shearman Luxembourg provides strategic advice on a wide range of domestic and cross-border matters, acting as a trusted advisor to leading international, regional, and local businesses on transactions and projects involving Luxembourg. Their team serves leading banks and financial institutions, global asset management firms and funds, private equity houses, insurance and reinsurance companies, corporates across various sectors, and government bodies and public entities.
A&O Shearman is an active and engaged player across all aspects of the Blockchain / DLT market – its specialist lawyers began looking at the legal aspects of blockchain and cryptocurrencies several years ago, when prospective use cases were theoretical at best. In the intervening period they have engaged with their clients and with a wide range of market participants to follow emerging developments and contribute their perspectives on how existing and emerging legal and regulatory frameworks might be applied to new business models built on distributed ledger technology.
A&O Shearman’s legacy firm, Allen & Overy (which was the firm’s name until May 1, 2024), was proud to be the first law firm to join the Infrachain initiative in May 2017 as a founding member.
