After two years of transition and co-management, Loyens & Loeff co-managing partners and will be going their separate ways. Meyers has announced that he is stepping down from his current role to take up the position of global head of Loyens & Loeff’s funds & PE focus group, where he will be responsible for steering the firm’s market approach to funds and private equity.

“I will of course continue to serve as an investment funds partner and look forward to taking up my new roles as global head of the funds & PE focus group of Loyens & Loeff and member of the firm’s global executive committee, allowing me to continue to contribute, together with my colleagues, to the firm's and our clients’ success,” Meyers wrote on Linkedin. He will also remain a member of the firm’s global executive committee, which he joined in 2007. Meyers began his career as a partner at Allen & Overy in 1996 before joining Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP in 2001.

Franckx thus becomes Loyens & Loeff’s sole managing partner in Luxembourg, after a “a smooth transition to the next generation while knowing the office will be in good hands,” Meyers said in his post. A lawyer practising Luxembourg law, Franckx is regularly involved in private equity transactions and has over 15 years of experience, having worked in Brussels, New York and Luxembourg.
