MNKS law firm has announced the appointment of Cindy Arces as Deputy Managing Partner.
Cindy Arces started her career within the firm in 2000, following which she then practised for 4 years at a Luxembourg law firm specialising in litigation, before rejoining MNKS in 2005.
Cindy established the litigation department and further strengthened the labour law department alongside Marielle Stevenot. She quickly became highly involved in business development activities and took on responsibilities in the firm’s internal management. She became a partner of MNKS in 2011 and joined the executive committee of the firm in 2015.
"I spent the largest part of my career at MNKS, and so I experienced the many changes that the firm has undergone from its creation to the present time, which has given me unique insight and allowed me to have a global view of the challenges and priorities of the firm."
As Deputy Managing Partner, Cindy works on the development and implementation of the firm’s strategy alongside Katia Scheidecker, Managing Partner and co-founder of MNKS, as well as with the members of the management board: Marielle Stevenot and Catherine Baflast, both partners at MNKS. The expansion of our governance team allows for the possibility to be active in many projects simultaneously and to expand the firm’s services to new sectors.
The legal market is facing a real revolution today: the demands of clients are becoming increasingly complex, and the pressure on costs more evident. The role of the business lawyer is no longer that of an academic expert, it requires greater involvement in the strategy of the enterprises he/she advises and in the practical decision making process.
"At MNKS we position ourselves as a true “Business Partner” to our clients. In this sense, we complete research to ensure we have a real understanding of their business and activity, as well as to have a global vision of their goals and the challenges they face today and will encounter tomorrow."
