LFK joins alongside Russell Bedford's existing firms in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich.

Founded in 2001 and now having around 70 personnel, LFK is one of the region's leading independent multi-discipline accounting, tax and law practices. From its headquarters in Villingen-Schwenningen and branch offices in nearby towns, it provides a broad range of services including audit, cross-border tax planning, management consultancy, and private client services.

The firm's clients are predominantly SMEs, mainly concentrated in the manufacturing sector. Many clients have interests and operations outside of Germany.

LFK managing partner Thomas Bußhardt commented: "Russell Bedford's policy of accepting only market-leading firms in target regions matches our own position very closely, and the cross-border support and networking opportunities offered by their worldwide coverage is highly attractive in meeting the growing international needs of our clients." Russell Bedford CEO Alan Bezzant added: "LFK has established a reputation as one of the most dynamic, multi-discipline firms in its area. We look forward to working closely with them in further enhancing their offerings to clients."
