We are an alliance of independent, internationally-focused law firms committed to providing our clients with the best available representation on their cross-border matters. Founded in 1989, we have grown steadily, through a highly selective admissions process. Today we are present in more than 50 countries and 130 cities, including the world’s major commercial and financial centers. Our members not only have exceptional understanding of their local markets, but are also able seamlessly to integrate their local expertise into the applicable multi-jurisdictional framework of any cross-border project. Because outstanding client service is our top priority, our members exercise independent judgment regarding referrals, whether to member firms or outside the alliance, always depending on the optimal skill sets and geographical locations required for the matter.In all cases, we seek to ensure the highest quality of service, prompt response and dedication to seeing the matter through in a cost-effective manner.How we can help your business
