Leading independent law firm Travers Smith LLP announces that it is to open a new office in Brussels, the heart of the European Union, further strengthening its international Competition Practice.
This is a natural progression for the firm, given the international nature of its work, client base and the Competition Practice's team, which includes EU and UK qualified lawyers. The firm has a long history of advising clients on complex EU merger control matters, investigations and advisory mandates, and it is crucial to ensure that clients continue to be served by a practice which is able to effectively respond to EU regulatory challenges.
This also follows on from a number of recent developments within the Competition team, including the appointment of Stephen Whitfield as Head of Competition and the promotion of Ingrid Hodgskiss to Partner.
Edmund Reed, Managing Partner, Travers Smith said: "The opening of our Brussels office meets our commitment of being able to advise clients on all aspects of EU competition law. We want to be able to continue to provide our clients with the best legal and sector expertise and our presence in Brussels will further enhance our already strong competition offering."
Stephen Whitfield, Head of Competition said: "Clients are front and centre of any strategic decision we make, and our office in Brussels will enable us to continue to support our existing clients and offer us opportunities for the future expansion of our Competition Practice."
