When acting for the issuer or its board, we also must take the board’s potential liability into account. We bring considerable creative expertise in the field of bond restructurings and recognise the specifics of listed bonds and the mindset of bondholders and boards, depending on their corporate culture. The other key skillset we use is our knowledge of certain foreign markets. Based on precedent experience, we have the ability to compare and clarify the differences in markets, liability standards and corporate governance aspects in both foreign markets (such as the US, the UK, Germany and Brazil for instance) and the Luxembourg legal frameworks as well as the practices of the respective courts in these jurisdictions. This also helps in our advising on (litigation) risk assessments in the context of the negotiation with the bondholders. SPECIAL FEATURE 45 Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg regularly advises clients on both the issuer and the creditor/ investor side on the restructuring of bonds.
