Quality advice, where you need it
Reflecting your needs
We asked clients and contacts what they would like from an alliance of international law firms. This is what they said:
‘I want an international network of local specialists’ ‘A genuine, close-knit alliance of national experts’ ‘The ability to provide a bespoke service: either locally, or as one seamless multi-national offer with a single co-ordinator and point of contact’

Independence We don’t share fees. We make our referrals in your best interests and we will not refer a job to a member firm if it is not within their expertise. Reliability The members of the alliance trust each other to deliver. That trust has developed from the longstanding personal relationships that exist between us and the work that we have done together.
Consistency We constantly review the way we work together through practice groups and post-transaction reviews. We involve clients in this process too. Our aim is to ensure that our services are consistent across all five firms. We develop standardised documents to assist with this. Quality We will never compromise on quality. If we cannot advise your business, we will refer you to a firm the Broadlaw Group trusts.
