Letter from the executive committee

2023 is a seminal point for our firm, as we are celebrating our 130-year anniversary.

Our long history guides us and provides us with a very specific compass. One that permeates our structure, our way of doing business and our view of the world, including our clients. It is this compass that guides our decisions and work, and which ultimately sets us apart. It is this compass for which we wish to be known, and for which our clients ultimately choose us. We want to build lasting collaborations of which we can be proud. We stay true to our convictions, not afraid to take difficult decisions, and to honour and uphold them. We value our independence because it allows us to give the best possible support to our clients.

Our long history is important, but it is not the pinnacle of our journey. The view ahead is what fuels us to innovate, strive and, ultimately, to thrive.

Annual Report

2022 was another good year following on from our remarkable results in 2021. Our 8% growth, against a backdrop of the war in Ukraine, an energy crisis, high inflation, and disrupted supply chains, makes us feel both proud and humbled. As always, we are grateful to our clients for their trust in us. We are, also, extremely thankful to our growing team of lawyers, economists and range of other professionals who have all played a part in the firm’s success and progress.
