COMMUNICATION
FCB announces that it will join
with Eversheds Sutherland (Europe) as of today, 21 June 2021, rebranding itself
as Eversheds Sutherland FCB.
FCB,
an international renowned full-service law firm with over 30 years of history,
has a team of 70 lawyers in their three Portuguese offices (Lisbon, Porto, and
Faro), as well as associations with law firms in Angola, EVC Advogados, and
Mozambique, AG Advogados.
As a global top 10 law practice, with
more than 3,000 lawyers, Eversheds Sutherland provides legal services to a
global client base ranging from small and mid-sized businesses to the largest
multinationals, acting for 61 of the FTSE 100, 70 of the Fortune 100 and 128 of
the Fortune 200.
Eversheds
Sutherland and FCB have a long-standing working relationship, for over ten
years, and this coming together more formally is a natural evolution, enabling
both firms to strengthen their position in the international legal market.
With
a strong international client base, FCB will now be able to provide a global
answer to their clients’ needs, working together with Eversheds Sutherland’s
teams.
FCB’s
associated offices in Angola and Mozambique will also become part of the
Eversheds Sutherland international network – EVC Advogados, in Luanda, will
become Eversheds Sutherland EVC, and AG Advogados, in Maputo, will keep its
current name and identity, including the brand Eversheds Sutherland in their
communication supports.
With this important integration, Eversheds
Sutherland reinforces its presence in Europe and, through FCB’s associated offices,
in Africa as well.
Eversheds Sutherland will now operate
in 74 offices in 35 jurisdictions across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East,
and the United States. In addition, a network of more than 200 related law
firms, including formalized alliances in Latin America, Asia Pacific, and
Africa, provide support around the globe.
Lee Ranson, CEO, Eversheds Sutherland (International)
commented:
“The addition of FCB
to our growing European and African locations supports our strategy and will
greatly benefit our combined client rosters. We are delighted to welcome FCB’s
highly respected team to Eversheds Sutherland and look forward to working
closely with our new colleagues in the months ahead.”
Ian Gray, Chair, Europe, Eversheds
Sutherland commented:
“FCB has been a valuable partner of Eversheds
Sutherland’s wider service in Europe for over 10 years, with long-standing relationships
between our legal teams. This combination is a natural evolution for our teams
to come together and work more closely. Our firms are culturally aligned, share
many clients in common and have a substantial history of referrals to each
other. We are thrilled that such a talented legal team has joined us.”
Gonçalo da Cunha, Partner, Co-Managing Partner Eversheds
Sutherland FCB (Portugal) commented:
“I am
delighted that FCB is combining with Eversheds Sutherland to create greater
reach for both our firms across Europe, and in Angola and Mozambique. By
joining forces, we will deepen our ongoing relationship to the benefit of our
international clients. We look forward to building and strengthening
relationships with colleagues across the firm’s global office network and
supporting clients on their activity across Europe, Africa and Latin America.”
