Finding a lawyer in another country, with the appropriate specialist experience, who operates high quality standards and speaks your language, is time consuming and often very difficult. Whether you are a company director needing such support or a lawyer working in-house or in private practice, World Link for Law is able to help. Our member firms offer a comprehensive range of international legal services.

Many members also advise clients about specialist areas of law such as shipping, transport and distribution; and sports law. World Link for Law’s Administration has a regularly updated database of all members and their skills and individual contact partners. If you need advice in relation to a specific service in a specific country (or groups of countries), World Link for Law's Administration Service can help you find the most appropriate assistance.

World Link for Law has worked together as a team to produce:

(a) a Mergers and Acquisitions Due Diligence Check List. This identifies issues and subjects that a purchaser of a business or company may ask a seller. It is an ‘international cross-border' document, but may need to be customised to suit specific locations, situations or countries.

(b) an Agency and Distribution Agreement Checklist, identifying key issues in international cross-border agency and distribution agreements in relation to relevant laws.

(c) an international company formation guide, identifying different types of company formation options and general procedural requirements in various countries around the world.

If you are interested in receiving a copy of either of these documents please contact the World Link for Law member in your country.

Competitive fee rates

Whilst we don't set out to compete on costs alone, our structure makes it inevitable that we are often able to provide services of equivalent quality to the major international practices at beneficial cost savings to clients.

Training

Individual member firms or groups of firms are happy to organise training courses for you or your staff on a wide range of legal and practical issues. Please contact the Administration Service if you would like to discuss your training requirements.
