Working Together

Membership in Lexwork International assists the member firms to meet the international requirements of their clients, to increase their profile and to gain new and better business by:

• raising their international capabilities through cooperation with other member firms of Lexwork International.
• promoting Lexwork International and its member firms through this website.
• providing a network of member firms to whom referrals can safely be made, with the knowledge that the recipient will provide quality legal services at reasonable cost.
• promoting referrals, for example, under an arrangement which allows for initial consultations of up to one hour in duration to be free of charge.
• promoting initiatives whereby member firms can work together, such as joint publications on legal topics of common interest and joint tenders for business.
• sharing knowledge to assist member firms to develop additional expertise.
• sharing information on law firms to whom referrals have been made outside the territory covered by Lexwork International.

Full Meetings are held in the autumn, once a year, alternating between Europe and North America. The European member firms also hold a meeting in May. These meetings and regularly scheduled periodic telephone conference calls provide an opportunity to network with representatives from other member firms and to participate in discussions on topics of interest. A number of working groups also exist which hold regular conference calls to discuss their area of interest (e.g. IP, corporate and employment). All meetings and teleconferences are conducted in English.
