Has the Brussels office attracted work from Howreys existing clients or work from new clients?
TS: The office developed its business primarily on the basis of new clients or clients of the firm whom we started to work for after pitching for their work. We were in fact generating significant new clients from day one. If you look at our client lists you will see that each year we generate a number of new clients as a result of which we are not dependent on a static client group, instead there are regular additions to the client base and that is important to ensure a broad variety of work. BL: So are there other opportunities for developing the office lined up? TS: Good people are always contacting us and we are open to new possibilities. If we see a real opportunity, we will take it. BL: Thank you for you time.
