Taylor Wessing enters CEE with Austrian firm e|n|w|c
With offices across Central and Eastern Europe, including in Budapest, Prague, Brno, Bratislava, Warsaw, Kyiv, Klagenfurt and Vienna, Taylor Wessing’s merger with e|n|w|c has allowed the Firm to realise that goal.
e|n|w|c was founded in 1986 and today has 24 partners and more than 70 lawyers operating across its eight offices, advising major international companies in the commercial, industrial, service, banking and insurance sectors.
e|n|w|c formally became part of Taylor Wessing as ‘Taylor Wessing e|n|w|c Attorneys at Law’ on Friday 4 May 2012. The merger takes Taylor Wessing’s fee earning headcount to almost 900 across 22 offices in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Christopher Dixon, Managing Partner of Taylor Wessing Middle East, comments, “We welcome the increased opportunities which this merger will bring to Taylor Wessing in the Middle East, and feel sure that those of our clients who are interested in Central and South Eastern Europe will appreciate the seamless service that we will be able to offer in both regions for cross-border transactions.”
Dr. Raimund Cancola, Managing Partner of e|n|w|c, comments, “The ability to deliver top quality service to our clients across practice areas and jurisdictions has always been our aspiration. As our clients become increasingly international in their outlook and requirements, the decision to become part of an international law firm is the logical corollary of our corporate philosophy, allowing us to grow with them in this fast changing and increasingly competitive environment.”
