LBAN Welcomes WOUD Law Firm as Strategic Partner

The Luxembourg Business Angel Network (LBAN) is pleased to welcome WOUD Law Firm as its strategic partner.

LBAN collaborates with a select group of ecosystem players who provide meaningful, hands-on support to the community of business angels, investors, and founders. These partnerships are built around a shared objective: strengthening the early-stage venture environment in Luxembourg by ensuring that both founders and investors have access to the right expertise at the right time.

Legal support is a critical component of any startup and investment journey. From structuring early agreements to navigating fundraising rounds, clarity, speed, and alignment between stakeholders are essential. This is precisely where WOUD brings exceptional value to the ecosystem.

As explained by Harry Lars Ghillemyn, Partner at WOUD:

"Startups move fast!Founders need pragmatic, accessible and business-oriented advice and not just perfect legal theory. Investors expect efficiency, clarity and alignment.This is what we offer at Woud: an independent firm designed for the venture ecosystem. Today, we like to describe ourselves as lawyer-entrepreneurs. We are not only advisors on transactions, but we are part of the journey.

Over the past two years, we have had the privilege to act on numerous high-profile start-up and scale-up fundraises. At the same time, it has been exciting to witness the rapid development of the Luxembourg startup ecosystem. The quality of founders, the increasing presence of international investors, adaptation of government policy and the growing ambition of projects are clear signals that something meaningful is happening. This is exactly why joining the Luxembourg Business Angel Network felt like a natural step. LBAN operates at the very beginning of the venture journey where founders and investors first connect, and where the foundations of future success are laid.We are genuinely thrilled to see this community grow, and proud to play a small role in supporting it."

WOUD’s approach — combining legal excellence with a deep understanding of the realities of venture building — aligns perfectly with LBAN’s mission to support smart, efficient, and well-structured early-stage investments.

By welcoming WOUD as a strategic partner, LBAN reinforces its commitment to equipping its members and the broader startup community with trusted expertise that matches the pace and ambitions of the Luxembourg venture ecosystem.

We look forward to working closely with WOUD to continue fostering strong connections between founders and investors and to contribute together to the growth of the Luxembourg startup landscape.
