Tuesday to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Cox & Wilkinson.

"In 25 years, the partnership has trebled in size,'' said co-founder Mr.

William Cox. "What has impressed me most is seeing the firm develop from a general practice to a team of lawyers specialising in distinct areas of the law and supported by sophisticated computer technology. This has enabled us to provide a greatly enhanced level of service and skill to our many valued clients here and abroad.'' Cox and Wilkinson was founded in 1970 by Mr. Cox and Mr. David Wilkinson, two former parliamentarians. Mr. Cox is now a consultant.

The firm has developed over the years into a practice boasting a strong international commercial side comprising 10 lawyers and 21 support staff.

Senior partner Mr. John Riihiluoma, referring to the recent establishment of a separate trust company, State House Trust Company Ltd., and a corporate services company, Coson Corporate Services Ltd., said: "We are very pleased that we have been able to extend our range of services.''
