My friend and LawPact colleague Scott Pohlman writes that international law firm associations enable small- and mid-size law firms to engage (and compete) on an international level. So true. Helsell Fetterman LLP has been a member of LawPact for many years and our association with business law firms around the world has greatly benefited our firm and clients.

Scott’s article requires a subscription, and here are highlights for those who cannot access it: International law firm associations

- build robust global connections
- expand the firm’s client base
- create opportunities for client referrals
- enhance knowledge and expertise
- offer global reach for clients

In his summary, Scott writes:

“Joining international legal associations offers tangible advantages for small to medium-sized law firms. These benefits include improved client service, more efficient meeting of diverse client needs, comprehensive legal solutions, strategic growth, and revenue expansion through access to new markets and client segments.

“Small to medium-sized law firms should consider joining international associations to enhance their growth opportunities and strengthen their ability to provide specialized client service. The collaborative environment, networking opportunities, and access to global expertise offered by international legal associations can significantly bolster the firm’s capabilities and reputation.

“Global legal collaboration is essential for navigating the complexities of today’s legal landscape. Embracing international associations fosters professional development, knowledge sharing, and robust client relationships and can ensure that small to medium-sized law firms remain competitive and effective in a globalized world.”
