Our Membership of Lex Mundi

Our clients benefit enormously from our membership of Lex Mundi, the world's leading association of independent law firms, which enables us to offer the highest level of international legal advice and support and to manage the delivery of that advice on our clients' behalf.

Lex Mundi comprises 160 well established, top-tier law firms covering over 100 countries around the world, including all 50 US States. The aggregated legal directory rankings of the Lex Mundi member firms consistently and significantly exceed the aggregated rankings of not only the other legal networks but also the top global law firms. A further endorsement of Lex Mundi's strength can be found in its receipt of the inaugural Law Firm Network of the Year Award at the 2010 The Lawyer European Awards. The breadth and depth of expertise within Lex Mundi is therefore enormous and our ability to connect with first rate firms around the world gives us added reach for our clients whose business extends beyond the UK.

Lex Mundi's non-exclusive character means that it need not compromise clients' existing international relationships and it has the flexibility to accommodate local conflicts of interests or specialist requirements.

The Lex Mundi advantage

• Truly Global Reach
  Lex Mundi's presence and therefore ability to provide local expertise in 100 jurisdictions worldwide is unmatched by any global legal firm and approached by only a very few networks. It will very rarely be the case that our clients are operating in an area of the world where we can't ensure they are advised by local lawyers who are regarded as among the leaders in their territory.
  
  
• Consistency of Service
  Because Lex Mundi's member firms all have to submit on a regular basis to a review of their performance to precise and exacting standards and with the ultimate sanction of being asked to leave the network if they are not up to scratch, the quality and consistency of service delivery is very high despite the enormous reach of the organisation. It is this very important aspect of the network which enables us to recommend our Lex Mundi colleagues with confidence in their ability to provide our clients with an outstanding service.
  
  
•  MMS Support
  Of course you can rely on your usual MMS contact to manage and coordinate your interaction with Lex Mundi, ensuring that you are happy with the service and that your project is progressing as you would expect. In combination we believe these three characteristics of Lex Mundi make the network the obvious and best choice for the support of our international clients.
