“Our clients are international and some global, yet we act local. We have throughout the years followed our clients to different markets and instead of saying no, or handing over the business to someone else, we have in Birn+Partners from the beginning decided to establish legal entities in 15 European countries when business from clients is allowing us to do so. Fortunately, we have experienced continuous and crossborder business with almost all our 600 clients, where almost half of the clients have come through referrals from existing clients. Being international and able to follow clients internationally is part of our DNA”; says founder Mikkel F. Birn.

Birn.
