Lextrust

What Lextrust does

Lextrust is an independent, mid-sized, full-service boutique law firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Luxembourg at 25A Boulevard Grande-Duchesse Charlotte. The firm operates a horizontal practice model spanning 11 service areas — Administrative Law, Banking & Finance, Civil & Commercial Law, Corporate Law / M&A, Criminal Law, Employment Law, Family Office / Private Wealth Management, Investment Funds, Real Estate & Construction, Startup Practice, and Tax — and serves wealthy families, private banks, family offices, asset managers, alternative investment funds, entrepreneurs, and corporate clients, including cross-border mandates reaching London, Geneva, New York, Paris, and São Paulo. The firm maintains multilingual capability across Luxembourgish, English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese, and is a member of two international legal networks (Eurojuris International and the Alliuris Group) that provide cross-border referral coverage across roughly 50 countries.

Lextrust is structured as a partnership with three founding partners (Jonathan Charles Burger, Lars Goslings, Jean-Marie Verlaine) — collectively bringing credentials from Harvard Business School, LSE, Wharton, and prior senior roles at Big Four audit firms, Magic Circle firms, and a Luxembourg bank's in-house legal function — plus a Managing Partner (Jérémie Ferrian, joined November 2023) and additional counsel and associate headcount placing total employees in the 11–50 range. The technology dimension is essentially non-existent in the traditional software sense; the firm's "platform" is its human expertise, multilingual coverage, and the institutional knowledge of partners who are directly involved at every stage of client engagement, with client relationships that the firm states have spanned over a decade.

The business model is professional-services fee-for-service, with engagement-based pricing (hourly or fixed fees) tailored to the complexity and scope of each matter — no public fee schedule is disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and high-touch: partners engage clients directly through website inquiries, referrals via the international networks, LinkedIn presence, and ongoing content marketing through the firm's blog covering Luxembourg regulatory developments. There is no disclosed external funding, parent company, subsidiary structure, M&A activity, or revenue figure.
