We deliver coordinated, integrated advice to a diverse clientele, both domestic and international, whose business activities extend beyond Luxembourg’s borders. Our international capabilities are bolstered by a carefully developed network of trusted referral firms.
Our commitment remains unwavering: to cultivate lasting client relationships and uphold a culture of excellence in service.

- Alternative Funds & Investor Services (structuring, lifecycle, investor representation)
- Banking, Finance & Capital Markets (legal advice, debt and equity markets, securitisation & structured finance)

At Stellan Partners, we go beyond traditional legal advice. We combine rigorous legal expertise, business acumen, and a global outlook to deliver high-end strategic solutions that empower clients to achieve their goals across borders.
To strengthen this vision, we have established a LatAm & Iberian Desk with a clear mission: connect Luxembourg, Latin America and Iberia through innovative legal strategies that create opportunities and drive success.
Our LatAm & Iberian Desk brings together seasoned lawyers across multiple practice areas at Stellan Partners with a strong emphasis on Latin America and Iberia. This focus uniquely positions us to bridge these markets with Luxembourg and the broader European financial ecosystem.
Our linguistic diversity ensures seamless communication—particularly with Spanish-speaking clients—while our cultural understanding strengthens relationships and fosters long-term partnerships.
Because our clients’ ambitions deserve a partner who understands their challenges, their language, and delivers solutions that transcend borders.
The focus of our LatAm & Iberian Desk uniquely positions us to bridge the Iberian and Latin America markets with Luxembourg and the broader European financial ecosystem.
We help Iberian and Latin American clients turn international ambitions into reality—whether through complex cross-border transactions or by establishing a strategic European presence in Luxembourg.
Our global perspective and deep understanding of multi-jurisdictional challenges allow us to anticipate client needs and deliver innovative, tailored solutions.
Our experience with Latin American and Iberian clients includes among others:
- Banking, Finance & Regulatory Advisory for sophisticated transactions
- Financing via Bond Issuances (listed and unlisted on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange)
- Structuring Alternative Investment Funds and regulated vehicles under Luxembourg law
- Corporate & M&A Transactions with cross-border complexity
- International Restructurings ensuring compliance and efficiency
- Drafting and negotiating agreements (service agreements, intragroup agreements, IT agreements) between Luxembourg and LatAm/Iberian entities
- Employment law and immigration-related matters.
