Directorship services in Luxembourg, present, competent directors.
Directorship services give your Luxembourg structure directors with genuine powers and skills, who take decisions in Luxembourg and document governance, a pillar of ATAD substance. FSL provides directors and operational governance; the approval of fund officers is the CSSF's remit (fit & proper) and legal opinions are coordinated with our partner lawyers.
Directorship services consist of providing a company with resident, qualified directors who exercise a genuine function: board participation, decision-making in Luxembourg, oversight and documentation. They reinforce the substance and governance of a holding, a SOPARFI or a fund.
The director function is governed by the amended law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies. The expected substance derives from the ATAD directives (laws of 21 December 2018 and 20 December 2019). For regulated structures, governance follows the AIFM law of 12 July 2013 and CSSF circular 18/698.
