Why Lawrope?

Austria
Andreas Foglar-Deinhardstein
Lawyer and Partner at Foglar-Deinhardstein
“Our law firm has always been focused on transnational legal work. This made it especially important for us to find like-minded and trustworthy law firms in other jurisdictions for cooperation.
In the past we have cooperated with different law firms on a purely informal level, but at the early 2000 decade we were looking for a formal network of law firms with the aim to strengthen our international cooperation. Thus, after some research, we decided to join Lawrope, having come to the conclusion that joining this international law firms network has been the best fit for us.
Lawrope’s principles as a network covering not only the most important jurisdictions, but also the main areas of business law, captivated us. At the same time Lawrope’s size called our attention since personal contact matters, as much as it matters being able to rely on each members law firm’s quality standards. Important to highlight is that Lawrope is now developing further in order to better accomplish the demands of the members’ law firms. We are thrilled to continue cooperating in this successful network!”

Arnaud Fleury
Lawyer and Partner at Foglar-Deinhardstein
“Défis Avocats’ clients are companies of all sizes and they need support, in France and abroad, for both advice and litigation.
The network of Lawrope enables to respond to these same transnational issues, relying on competent and reliable lawyers in complete confidence.
The members of the network of Lawrope can also recommend non-member lawyers based in other countries, increasing this way opportunities for our clients.”

United Kingdom
Barry Stanton
Lawyer and Partner at Boyes Turner
“Boyes Turner joined Lawrope almost 20 years ago. We joined so that we would be able to establish and grow firm links with a Europe-wide group of like-minded lawyers who recognised the need to be able to stretch their advice beyond national boundaries.
The reasons for joining Lawrope then and remaining a member have not changed, indeed they are now more pressing than ever.
During our membership of Lawrope we have worked with the group’s members to resolve our client’s problems across Europe and further afield.
Being able to work with colleagues whom we know well and trust, having met them on a regular basis over the years, is crucial to us in being able to provide an efficient service to our clients.”

Italy
Federica Odello
Lawyer and Partner at Odello – De Capitani
“Since the beginning of my career as a lawyer, I have always believed that an international positioning was necessary to broaden my professional perspective and benefit my clients.
What I found in Lawrope was the best technical know-how guaranteed by its members along with strong personal relationships that make working side by side always an enriching experience.
This mutual cooperation supported by a deep understanding of the local environment creates a safety net for prospect clients who want to cross borders and make business or solve issues where they don’t have the proper resources to do so.”

Mexico
Gonzalo Arrangoiz
Lawyer and Partner of ARRANGOIZ & ASOCIADOS, Business Counsel

United States of America
Michael L. Kabik
Lawyer and Partner at Kabik Law
“There are numerous international legal networks with vast ‘phone book’ directories filled with unknown names. Lawrope is different. What truly sets Lawrope apart from these other ‘pay-to-play’ international legal networks are the direct personal relationships, camaraderie, and esprit des corps among its members.
Over 18 years as a Lawrope member, I have experienced Lawrope as a unique blend of preeminent international legal talent where members actually know one another, meeting in person to develop bonds and synergies, building the trust, confidence, and reliability necessary to collaborate and seamlessly support clients’ international legal needs across borders.
Lawrope is small enough where everybody knows your name, yet with members’ vast national legal experience and resources to provide diverse, top-tier, cross-border legal support to meet clients’ business and personal objectives in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner, all while focusing on the strength of members’ deep, one-on-one relationships.”

Portugal
Ricardo Gonçalves
Lawyer and Partner at Ricardo Gonçalves
“l joined Lawrope in 2004 because I wanted to internationalize my activity as a lawyer and I wanted to do it in a way to assure the protection of the interests of my clients abroad.
The high quality of the legal services provided by all Lawrope colleagues for over almost 20 years allows my office not only to maintain but also to expand the number of clients, besides contributing for the creation of an excellent network of contacts.
I had the honor to be President of Lawrope between 2018-2022 and getting to know in person the representatives of each Lawrope member made me realize that, beyond the excellent group of professionals, there is a friendship established which lasts and convey confidence to current and new members.”

Brazil
Robertson Emerenciano
Lawyer and Partner at Emerenciano, Baggio & Associados
“Being part of Lawrope is an important aspect of our business because since it is an international lawyers network it empower us to offer our clients global legal service coverage and to welcome foreign companies doing business in Brazil.
l had the opportunity to lead Lawrope from 2010 to 2012 and specially during that time I was able to see how the exchange of experiences and knowledge about different cultures and legal systems contributes to the technical development of our own teams in a collaborative work environment.
The growth of Lawrope’s network with coverage in different jurisdictions has increasingly expanded our ability to think globally.”
