of artificial intelligence. This initiative is part of our broader effort to meet the growing client demand for expert counsel in AI-related matters, an area where we are actively leading and shaping the conversation. In the past year, we’ve welcomed two new partners, strengthening our firm’s expertise and leadership. Since our establishment eight years ago with an initial team of five lawyers, NEUWERK has grown to 32 today, with over 50% women, reflecting our commitment to diversity and excellence. These efforts are key to our strategy for staying at the cutting edge of legal services. Are there any more exciting projects currently or coming up for Neuwerk that you wish to share with us, are there plans for continued growth? Here at NEUWERK, we are embracing technological advancements that are reshaping our industry. A prime example is NEUWERK.AI, an innovative online course we’ve developed for legal professionals who want to deepen their understanding environmental law, and compliance. Neglecting any of these areas could have resulted in regulatory hurdles, contractual or compliance issues, which could have potentially jeopardized the deal’s viability. During this you were working alongside Kirkland and Ellis as they were counselling your client on other aspects, how does this relationship transpire and what is the key to working effectively with other law firms? Working with a leading firm like Kirkland & Ellis on complex M&A transactions is both a privilege and a testament to our specialized expertise. M&A deals are intricate by nature, requiring not only sharp legal skills but also the capacity for swift, decisive action. The key to our partnership lies in our commitment to being more than just problem identifiers: we strive to be solution providers. Over the past 15 years, I’ve provided transaction support in more than 100 deals – that level of expertise is shared by my partners here at NEUWERK. Our experience allows us to integrate our services seamlessly, align closely with the lead law firm, and provide clear, comprehensive solutions. Our collaboration is based on mutual respect and a focused, goal-oriented approach – we believe that’s absolutely essential for the completion of any M&A deal.
