International law firm Bird & Bird is pleased to announce its role as legal advisor to FCG Finnish Consulting Group in the sale of its international development consulting business to Cowater International, a prominent Canadian global player in the industry. The sale encompasses FCG's development consulting business on a global scale, including its offices in Finland, Sweden, Germany, Kenya, Singapore, Philippines, and New Zealand.
