Philosophy

“Legal assistance must be clear, efficient and reliable” Our bespoke service and one on one client consultations are based on mutual trust. This principle is the core of our firm’s philosophy which has led to so many successful cases. We offer extensive knowledge and experience to our Luxembourg clients as well as those abroad, on both a local and international scale. We possess the proficiency to advise them in multiple jurisdictions, including Luxembourgish, German, English and general international law. We have a versatile, multilingual team comprising a wide range of nationalities which allows us to accommodate the needs of our clients in many languages, including German, English, French, Russian, Portuguese, Dutch and Luxembourgish. This is furthered by our ability to offer an international network of partner offices. At M&S, we ensure that our clients benefit from the most expedient approach in accordance with the specific needs of their situation.

Legal Advice, Consultation

M&S’ lawyers are not only multilingual but qualified to practice law in more than one jurisdiction as well. We are happy to accompany their clients to whichever we are needed in. When faced with negotiations and important decisions to be made, this can be an unfamiliar and stressful time. To minimise any such burdens, M&S strives to provide clients with clear guidance based on a combination of experience and specialist knowledge across a range of industries and businesses. Our lawyers will control the situation by drawing on substantial negotiating experience against both private and public bodies. We possess the skills to handle opponents in both more informal settings of private dispute resolution cases as well as assertively bringing their case in court. In addition to these domestic dealings, we pride ourselves on our transnational approach. Drawing on our international network of partner offices, M&S provides seamless cross border legal advice to our internationally active clients.
