A previous merger took place in December 2004 between Pinsents and Masons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pinsent Masons opens for business – Managing Partner )〕 Masons was recognised as one of the leading firms in the construction and IT outsourcing markets in the UK, with Pinsents having a more broadly based corporate practice. The rationale behind the merger being that the merged firm could sell its corporate services to Masons construction and IT clients. Pinsents itself was the result of the merger of Pinsent & Co, a Birmingham-based law firm, and Simpson Curtis, a Leeds-based law firm in 1995 with the merged firm trading under the name Pinsent Curtis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Directory of Groups and Networks )〕 In 2001, Pinsent Curtis merged with Biddle & Co, to form Pinsent Curtis Biddle. In 2002, the Birmingham office of Garretts was incorporated into the firm. Pinsent Curtis Biddle subsequently was renamed Pinsents in 2003. On 1 March 2008 the firm went from a traditional partnership to that of an LLP. In 2012 the firm launched in mainland Europe for the first time opening offices in Germany (Munich) and France (Paris), followed by the opening of an office in Turkey (Istanbul) in 2013. The firm's Board is led by Senior Partner Richard Foley and Managing Partner John Cleland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pinsent Masons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
