Swedish firm Vinge appoints a new managing partner

Swedish independent law firm Vinge has appointed finance partner Maria-Pia Hope as its new managing partner after being chosen for the role by the firm’s five-partner management board. She will take over from Michael Wigge, who has held the role between 2000 and 2004 and again from 2007 until 2012. Wigge plans to return to full-time fee-earning. Hope says her job as managing partner will be to ensure Vinge maintained its strategy as a full-service independent firm with a focus on recruiting and retaining talent. There are no plans at this stage to increase the firm’s international presence - which consists of offices in Brussels, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The firm closed its London office in 2009.
