Together, the two firms want to clearly state that they are joining forces, while retaining their respective identities, and will continue their current activities with full transparency for their clients and collaborators. The management of both firms will continue to oversee their teams and activities from their current offices. In doing so, they will play an essential role in this transition period, acting as facilitators to ensure that it runs smoothly.
