New Initiative - World Trade Link
World Link for Law members have created a database of key clients and international business matchmaking service called World Trade Link. The database is categorised according to the market sectors of the clients (e.g. transport or construction) and also by their geographic location, although the clients are not named on the database. Currently there are over 600 records. You can use it to seek out business development, joint venture or similar opportunities into new territories - ask to contact a company via the World Link for Law member firm's email. The file can be down-loaded as either a Word or Excel document. A dedicated website will be launched in the near future to promote World Trade Link and this will also include a facility to request specific matchmaking possibilities.
