The world is at an inflection point. A convergence of forces, including globalization, a fractured geopolitical landscape and intransigent problems whose solutions require partnership across stakeholders, means we are more interconnected and requiring of global cooperation than ever before. As lawyers in California, the most innovative and outward facing segment of the U.S. economy, we sit at the intersection of these forces, enjoying an ideal platform to serve our clients by contributing to the debate and development of international policies. To do so effectively we must not only understand but actively engage in the broader civic issues shaping our world, including international security, cross-border trade and corporate social responsibility.

Our clients operate around the world at ground zero of the intersection between commerce and policy. By contributing to the discussion in these critical areas, we provide an important value-add to our clients in areas law firms traditionally neglected or were unable to assist. Delving deeper into global policy debates helps you understand the issues your clients are facing in their development and growth in key global markets. You gain insight into the forces shaping our world and the business environment.
