Baker McKenzie Luxembourg was enriched with the arrival of Diogo Duarte de Oliveira and his team from Stibbe, bringing experience in transactional and private equity tax matters. Practice specialties are sovereign wealth funds, private equity, tax controversy and legislation. Principals Amar Hamouche and Antonio Weffer work alongside counsel Andrea Addamiano.
The firm implemented a cross-border reorganisation between two divisions of BTG Pactual Bank. It also advised a fund on asset structures as a co-investor in a deal valued at $1.5 billion.
