Firm Profile
We seamlessly combine an instinctively global perspective with the nuanced local insights of 3,900 locally qualified lawyers in 67 offices around the world. This includes the knowledge and experience of more leading lawyers in more countries in the Chambers Global Directory than any other global Top 20 law firm. Chambers lists 19 of our practices in its global rankings of the world’s leading practices.
But being global is not only about size or geography. It requires thinking, working and behaving in a distinctively global manner. Over six decades, we have organized, governed and managed our Firm to cultivate the global mindset, awareness of distinct business cultures, collaborative nature and practical knowledge required to navigate complexity across issues, practices and borders with ease.
We understand the challenges of the global economy because we have had a global presence from the start. Since our founding in 1949, we have been advising leading multinational and domestic companies on the issues of an integrated global market. Nearly two thirds of our fees come from clients we serve in five countries or more. We serve more than 500 of the world’s largest companies.
As a community of citizens of 60 nations, we have a deep understanding and appreciation for the language and culture of business all over the world. This gives us a distinctive ability to help clients anticipate and address the nuances of local markets as they pursue their global and regional business objectives with confidence.
We also are leaders in talent management, with a focus on developing both top-tier technical legal skills and sophisticated interpersonal skills, allowing us to deliver consistently, everywhere we operate, world-class service tailored to the preferences of our clients.
Our clients and lawyers appreciate these differences. Surveys of general counsel and other law firms rate our client service among the “absolute best.” We are frequently cited for the quality of our training and workplace experience.
