Brussels Managing Partner joins Field Fisher Waterhouse Business Board
23 October 2009
Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP announces today the appointment of
Brussels Managing Partner Eric Cusas to
its Business Board. Eric, who has headed up the firm’s Brussels office since its launch in 2007, will
represent the interests of the firm’s continental offices.
The Business Board is an elected body of departmental heads
chaired by Managing Partner, Moira
Gilmour. Its eight members are elected for a three year term
and Eric’s tenure begins this month. This is the first time a
non-UK partner has sat on the Field Fisher Waterhouse board and is
part of the continued integration of the firm’s three European
offices based in Brussels, Paris and Hamburg.
Under Eric’s leadership the Brussels office, founded by three
partners, has grown to 13 partners and 27 other fee earners in the
space of two years.
Field Fisher Waterhouse’s Managing Partner, Moira Gilmour said:
“Our focus is to continue to build on our European strategy,
providing clients with a genuine alternative to larger
international firms through our offices in the main European
jurisdictions. Eric’s appointment to the board is a further step
forward in the integration of our European offices, as we continue
to grow our operations on the continent.”
Eric Cusas said: “I am delighted to have been appointed to the
firm’s Business Board to represent Field Fisher Waterhouse’s
operations in Germany, France and Belgium. The move reflects the
success of the new offices launched in 2007 and the firm’s
commitment to further integration and international growth.”
