Our “Country Partners” have deep knowledge and experience of their local legal systems, economic environment and commercial practices and we work with them as one firm to make complex legal environments simpler for our clients, helping them make informed decisions to achieve their goals.
We are partnered with and have access to international legal counsel and subject matter experts in the Middle East, countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman), and Latin America.
Our offering is designed to provide our clients access to local markets more efficiently than multinational firms which are often required to “subcontract” cases to local firms for the pursuit of their matters in national jurisdictions.
