In brief: SJ Berwin seeks German alliance

SJ Berwin was believed to be tying up an alliance this weekend with a medium-sized German firm. Partners discussed the deal at their retreat the previous weekend (9-10 May). SJ Berwin, which already has an EU law Brussels office, once had an alliance with Paris-based Salans Hertzfeld & Heilbronn. It has been a member of the international Interlaw network for the past 12 years.
