The Luxembourg office of AKD Benelux lawyers will add a litigation practice to its services. The start of the litigation practice is an important step in further strengthening the position of AKD in the (Luxembourg) market. By adding the litigation practice group, AKD also has a commercial full-service office in Luxembourg.

The litigation team will be led by Thomas Biermeyer. Biermeyer specializes in complex cross-border corporate and financial litigation matters and has extensive experience in (international) commercial and civil litigation. Stéphane de Watazzi also joins AKD. De Watazzi is an experienced lawyer in the field of financial litigation. Biermeyer and de Watazzi will work closely with AKD’s Litigation teams in the Netherlands and Belgium to further strengthen the Benelux offering.

Ayzo van Eysinga, Partner Tax: "I am very excited about the start of the litigation practice and the arrival of Thomas and Stéphane. Since the start of AKD in Luxembourg six years ago, the Luxembourg office has tripled in size, which is a great achievement. I am proud that we have completed our legal offering by adding a litigation practice to our Luxembourg office and I am looking forward to advise our clients from now on also on litigation matters.”
