WHY JOIN?
Membership of our Chambers and Partners ranked organization allows law firms to instantly expand their geographic reach without the challenges and expense often associated with launching their own overseas offices. This is especially important in an era where law firms are having to constantly adapt to meet the needs of ever-demanding global clients who are looking for high-quality legal advisors with a worldwide footprint and are available 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
Interlaw's strategic partners have a distinguished reputation for delivering the highest international standards of ethics, client service and professionalism. Every prospective law firm is thoroughly vetted before an invitation is extended to join Interlaw, and each member’s participation and performance is continuously monitored to assure ongoing quality control.
Our culture is one of inclusion and familiarity. We are known for being a “high touch” relationship network and are an organization where collaboration and teamwork between our lawyers is highly visible and valued. Through a variety of initiatives, shared matters, projects, Interlaw conferences, informal face-to-face firm visits, collaborative business development projects and meet-ups at worldwide events our lawyers build and have confidence in the capacity and capabilities of their peers.
The lawyers of Interlaw extend the courtesies of “Best Client” status to fellow Interlaw members and their clients, including immediate response, quality legal counsel, transparency in billing, sharing of best practices, and open communication. Long-term relationships are created and fostered by our organization.
Typically, Interlaw only considers law firms located in a jurisdiction in which we do not host the primary office of a current strategic partner. Though our strategic partners are not financially integrated, our lawyers refer business to one another because they know that fellow member firms provide quality, responsiveness and excellence when delivering global legal services to their clients.
