WHY SHOULD A LAW FIRM JOIN

OUR NETWORK?



The primary goal of the network is to enable members to provide their clients with European-wide advice by utilising trusted and skilled fellow members. Increased international referral opportunities is of course a benefit of our network. Our ability to handle pan-European matters without the overhead of a multi-jurisdictional firm gives us a competitive advantage.

We conduct joint marketing efforts and professional activities to increase network knowledge and gain new clients. These include organising large and small conferences and events, as well as writing and attending together at international conferences (such as INTA, ECTA and ITech Law).

Enjoying a friendly and inclusive dynamic, many members bring their families. The meetings take place on Thursday evenings through Saturday evenings, with Fridays being professional days and Saturdays being social days including sightseeing. Each member is expected to organise a meeting in their home jurisdiction.

The group’s members are all excellent professionals who are well acquainted with one another. This encourages cross-referrals and helps facilitate pan-European co-operation on cross-country projects. Members are happy to provide brief preliminary advice on these projects on a “no-obligation” basis.
