Strategic structuring in Luxembourg, the right structure, defensible and durable.
Strategic structuring is the design of the legal, tax and operational architecture best suited to your goal: holding, investment, acquisition or succession. We select the vehicle, give it substance and keep it compliant. FSL designs the structure, substance, accounting and compliance; legal opinions and reserved acts are coordinated with our partner lawyers and notaries.
Strategic structuring is the coordinated design of a Luxembourg structure, choice of form and vehicle (SOPARFI, holding, fund, SCSp), applicable taxation, substance and governance, driven by a wealth or investment objective. It aims for an efficient, ATAD-defensible and durable structure.
Forms and vehicles governed by the amended law of 10 August 1915; participation regime art. 166 LIR; substance and anti-abuse under the ATAD directives (laws of 21 December 2018 and 20 December 2019). Fund vehicles fall under dedicated frameworks (AIFM law of 12 July 2013, RAIF, SIF, SICAR).
Key takeaway
- The structure must serve the objective, start from the need, not the vehicle.
- ATAD substance conditions the efficiency and defensibility of the structure.
- FSL structures and coordinates; reserved acts belong to the lawyer and notary.
