Globalaw™, The International Law Group, is a worldwide network of independent law firms, comprising firms representing over 85 jurisdictions. Through Globalaw and the other relationships established by Olshan with attorneys throughout the world, Olshan attorneys service client needs with local attorneys in foreign jurisdictions with the skills and connections essential for our clients’ development of their foreign businesses.
Olshan and Globalaw™attorneys are regular participants in the national and international meetings of the network and its specialized practice groups which allows Olshan to establish close relationships and provide effective foreign counsel for U.S. clients doing transnational business.
All of the Globalaw™ firms share common characteristics. Most are of medium size, as defined by their various jurisdictions, with the ability to devote personal senior attention to their clients. Many are active in the International Bar Association. All have broadly based commercial, corporate, and business practices as well as particularized local practice specialties. All have litigation capabilities and transnational as well as domestic practices.
While Globalaw™ is an informal network of independent, self-governing firms, it remains an invaluable forum through which Olshan attorneys have access to international information, developments, and foreign counsel to enable us to work with the firm’s clients to provide legal advice and access to business particularities in foreign jurisdictions.
