Despite being known for its reluctance towards overseas expansion, Macfarlanes is launching a new office in Brussels early this year for the competition team it hired from King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) in December.
It has also emerged the firm closed its Johannesburg office in October last year after three years in business. This will make Brussels its only base outside of London. The Johannesburg office was shut after its only partner Scott Brodsky, formerly at Baker & McKenzie, left the practice to join a client.
