A seminar presented by the BIC International Trade in Legal Services Committee

This session builds on a series of conferences over the last few years led by the Committee. These conferences aim to inform lawyers about how they can work together with large international law firms from outside their country on big-ticket legal work taking place in their country, to ensure that the co-operation between the local firm and the large international law firm works to the local firm’s advantage. As the globalisation of legal services increases, such cooperation becomes ever more important.

Topics include:

• Introduction to cross-border legal services
• Creation of joint ventures: different forms of international alliances and their benefits
• Working with large international law firms  - trends in law firm management
• Arbitration of international commercial disputes
