Ince & Co has launched a consultancy arm, called Ince Consultancy, to help boost its transactional work.

The consultancy will advise clients in the shipping, insurance, aviation, energy real estate and trade sectors.

It will focus on areas such as financial and tax advisory work, introducing clients and setting up deals and helping clients to execute projects.

The consultancy is incorporated as an English limited liability partnership but will be headquartered in Hamburg.

It is led by Ince & Co's Hamburg managing partner, Jan Hungar, who also heads the Hamburg office's transactional shipping and energy teams.

Other members of the LLP include tax advisor Regina Langholz who is managing director of the business; Daniel Jones, head of Ince's Hamburg English law team; Hamburg energy partner Tim Schommer and the firm's international senior partner Jan Heuvels.

Ince & Co's head of corporate Stephen Jarvis is a board member of the consultancy alongside Ince & Co's director of finance Alan Hodgson.

Hungar said: "We have already secured a number of significant instructions and feedback from our clients has been extremely positive."

Heuvels added: "The launch of Ince Consultancy is very much in line with our strategy of growing the transactional arm of our business to complement our leading contentious practice."

The firm has recently been working to increase the proportion of transactional work at the firm in the wake of a slowdown in disputes matters.

It also announced last week that it had reformed its lockstep system, introducing a larger bonus element to reward high-billing partners.
