Mourant, a law firm-led professional services business, is pleased to announce the appointment of Lara Forte as Partner in its Luxembourg Funds team.

Lara joins from Arendt & Medernach, where she developed extensive experience over nine years in the formation and advisory aspects of private equity, credit, and real estate funds, as well as related regulatory matters. Fluent in English, French, and Italian, she brings this expertise to her new role, enhancing her ability to provide comprehensive legal services to clients in the complex investment management industry.

Ben Robins, Global Head of Mourant’s Funds practice, commented:

“We are delighted to welcome Lara to our team. Her deep understanding of private capital and alternative investment funds aligns closely with our strategic priorities and will significantly enhance our Luxembourg investment funds practice.”
