Speechly Bircham is set to launch in Luxembourg and Zurich, handing the London firm its first international presence.

The Luxembourg office opened today (1 June) with the double hire of Francoise Pfeiffer, who joins as a partner from her own independent practice, and Chokri Bouzid, who joins as partner from local firm Oostvogels Pfister Feyten, where he was a senior tax consultant.
