Lawyers Associated Worldwide (LAW) is an international network of leading law firms from around the world, located in over 130 commercial centres, and representing a global resource of approximately 3500 individual lawyers. Its members are located in three regions: the Americas; Europe, Africa & Middle East; and Asia Pacific.

LAW facilitates global support for clients with growing international legal needs. Clients with cross-border needs are discovering that a well-run association of independent law firms like LAW, whose members have in-depth local expertise and are situated in most major commercial centres, is a viable and cost-effective alternative to the rate structures of the ‘global’ law firms with far fewer offices.

Why clients choose LAW:

• LAW offers fluency in all major languages, permitting LAW members’ clients to smoothly transact business globally.



• LAW provides instant built-in legal contacts with independent, indigenous law firms in any part of the globe. This enables fast, efficient and personalized legal services, often with just a phone call.



• LAW's members are independent, but have strong local networks to help clients find capable professionals and experts in other disciplines beyond legal services.



• Each member firm of LAW is specifically chosen for a high degree of expertise and a commitment to provide timely and efficient service. LAW members employ the latest technology to communicate, prepare work product and transfer vital information.



• Member firms must attend the LAW Annual General Meeting and at least one regional meeting each year and be represented at these gatherings by partners of some seniority. This creates continuity and internal support by member firms, ultimately benefiting LAW members and their clients.
