Mr Lingens also said that the firm will continue to concentrate on developing its commercial and private wealth practices, as well as its recently opened Zurich office.
Mr Lingens said: ‘We intend to open a third office in a major European location this Autumn, with a significant team hire. The office will be focused on providing corporate and tax services to a commercial client base in line with the profile of our other offices.  
‘The firm’s management team is already well advanced in developing our independent strategy for the next three years.’
