Tim Clark, Senior Partner at Slaughter and May, in addition indicated "the combination of our office with Bredin Prat will be stronger than the sum of its parts and will allow us to give our clients continuing access to the very highest quality of advice in France on an integrated basis. We have been delighted with the development of our Best Friends relationship with Bredin Prat over recent years. We know them well and there is considerable potential for us to develop a wider range of opportunities to work together in the future. This is a logical step in consolidating our Best Friends approach in this important market.”
