Managing partner Naoise Cosgrove (pictured) commented: “Since the Irish firm was established over 75 years ago by JJ Bastow and Jim Charleton, it has continued to evolve its service offering providing a broader range of services including leveraging its international network to meet the needs of our clients as their businesses evolve.
"The renaming of our firm to Crowe reflects this growing internationalisation, not just of our own practice but of the businesses we advise. Through greater collaboration with our international colleagues we will enhance further the delivery of audit, tax, advisory and consulting services.”
