Loyens & Loeff has a highly regarded Fund Regulatory Team exclusively focused on fund regulatory work. We are a front runner in respect of obtaining AIFMD license authorisations in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. In addition, we have assisted many managers with their sub-threshold and EuVECA registrations. Furthermore, our fund regulatory compliance update service allows our clients to stay abreast of the most recent requirements.
We assist clients with regulatory strategy, helping them anticipate upcoming regulatory developments, assess their impact on business operations and prepare for new requirements, including forthcoming national (AFM / CSSF) circulars and broader European regulatory initiatives.
We advise on licensing and registration, supporting clients throughout the full authorisation process, from preparation and filing to coordination with regulators and ongoing supervisory interactions.
Our team regularly supports clients in connection with regulatory inspections and enforcement‑related matters, including on‑site inspections by regulators, remediation and clean‑up projects, and related litigation support. We also conduct targeted reviews and mock inspections to help clients prepare for supervisory scrutiny.
We provide ongoing regulatory and compliance advice, including the review and updating of internal policies and procedures, risk management frameworks and governance arrangements, as well as advice on operational enhancements in line with regulatory expectations. We advise on the full range of applicable regulatory
frameworks, including AML legislation, ESG disclosure and sustainability requirements, PRIIPs, MiFID/MiFIR, EMIR, GDPR and other regulatory obligations relevant to fund managers and their operations.
From a regulatory perspective, we advise on (pre‑)marketing, distribution and fundraising, including cross‑border marketing, regulatory distribution frameworks and applicable requirements within and outside the EU.
We support clients on ESG and sustainability‑related regulatory matters, assisting with compliance obligations and the integration of ESG considerations into regulatory and governance frameworks.
In response to increasing regulatory focus on operational resilience, we advise on IT outsourcing, digital resilience and DORA compliance, including cloud‑related arrangements and ICT risk management.
Our services also include advice on data protection, addressing GDPR requirements and their interaction with financial regulatory obligations relevant to fund managers.

ESG expectations are increasingly shaping the Swiss legal and regulatory landscape.
EU institutions have set out a joint political and operational roadmap to reinforce the EU’s Single Market and strengthen Europe’s global competitiveness.
