Eversheds continues expansion with Romanian tie-up

INTERNATIONAL law firm Eversheds has announced a new collaboration with Romanian law firm Lina & Guia SCA.

Lina & Guia is a full service practice and its clients include health food firm Danone, Volvo, private equity company Sigma Bleyzer and RBS.

It will now operate under the name Eversheds Lina & Guia and follows recent expansions in Africa, where Eversheds took on operations in Casablanca and Tangier, along with moves into the Middle East and new offices in Madrid and Hamburg.

The new office in Romania will increase Eversheds’ total to 46 around the world.

David Beswick, senior partner in Birmingham, said: “Lina & Guia has an exceptional reputation for its ability to undertake complex work, coupled with a high standard of client service.

“The Romanian market is a critical hub for the central and Eastern European market and has strong growth potential as well as being a strong trade partner with Russia.”
