Lawrope's Board of Directors
Adrian Schmid
“A vibrant, personal network is our strategy: lawyers who know and trust each other, share standards, and respond instantly – so cross-border teamwork works smoothly and clients receive timely, pragmatic results.”
Federica Odello
“As immediate past Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lawrope I must say I had a challenging but exciting experience. Trying to converge distinct professional and cultural experiences, and diverse needs, towards the single goal of improving our organization was indeed very stimulating.”
Michael L. Kabik
“After 18 years in Lawrope, I can say without a doubt that Lawrope’s ‘secret sauce’ is its people and personal relationships. Unlike other enormous ‘pay-to-play’ international legal networks, Lawrope members develop strong, enduring, one-on-one bonds and are never ‘lost in the crowd’.”
Robert J. M. Sintnicolaas
“As Lawrope’s treasurer I wholeheartedly agree that money is a means, not an end. Since Lawrope’s goal is to create and sustain a network of lawyers who know each other and promote business among them, not much money is needed as long as we use it wisely.”
Robertson Emerenciano
“Serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lawrope is an honor, because I believe in alliances between countries and professionals with the aim of generating good business.”
