Marta Grieve comments: “I have chosen to house my practice with Sherrards because I can see they are a firm which understands the Russian and CIS region, and can provide the breadth of services needed for this specialist sector.”
Geraldine Fabre adds: “I was looking for a good international platform to work from, with a firm that is outward-facing, so I was drawn to Sherrards, particularly attracted by the firm’s growing international reputation and what the practice has achieved in the past few years has been magnifique!”
Alasdair McMillin, Managing Partner of Sherrards, says: “I think Geraldine Fabre and Marta Grieve joining us represents a very significant move for the firm, as we continue to grow our international offering with the development of our Russian- and French-speaking units, each led by lawyers of real calibre. This sits alongside the great work also being carried out by Laurel Zhang, who continues to lead our Chinese desk, so all in all we have a lot to shout about - particularly now, as we move into our new, landmark premises in the City of London.”
