“This is very much a coming together of equals that strengthens both firms. Independently we are recognised as leaders in our respective markets and together we can offer clients access to local market expertise and experience, together with seamless international reach and capability. Operating as one team under a global brand will deliver considerable synergies and benefits for our clients and people.”
