Birketts partner appointed as chairman

Integrated Advisory Group International (IAG) has announced that Daden Hunt was elected chairman at its general assembly in Rotterdam on 30 May.
Daden, a partner at Birketts who specialises in all aspects of commercial dispute resolution, was originally elected to the IAG Committee in May 2011. He became secretary in May 2012 and vice chairman in June 2014. He will hold office until May 2017 when IAG holds its general assembly in Cambridge.

Daden says: “I am delighted to have been elected chairman at an exciting time in IAG’s development. It is a privilege for me to have the opportunity to build upon the hard work of Nayra Prado Marrero and to continue to raise the profile of IAG’s offering.”

He continues: “IAG allows member firms to offer their clients access to a network of English speaking lawyers, accountants, tax advisors and fiduciaries at independent practices around the world. As a result our members’ clients have easy access to top quality legal, accountancy and tax advice so that no matter where they are doing business they never have to feel that they are working in a ‘foreign’ country.”
