Since joining the London arm of Los Angeles-based firm Latham & Watkins a decade ago, I have learned to appreciate the advantages of working at a firm with offices and clients throughout the world. The sheer size and complexity of transactions and matters, a roster of clients ranging from Fortune 1000 companies to emerging growth businesses and spanning all sectors and continents, as well as the knowledge, expertise and opportunities available to young lawyers, are just some of the factors attracting many to global law firms.
Recent years have seen a growing number of US-based firms looking to expand their reach across the globe. Such firms have a significant integrated presence in a number of key legal markets, including the UK and the US, and have client bases that span the world. Global law firms are capable of practising in many different legal markets and are frequently briefed to work on complex cross-border matters requiring expertise in numerous jurisdictions. As the marketplace continues to grow beyond domestic borders, these firms can increasingly offer clients a coherent, unified service across numerous jurisdictions.
