An interconnected Wor ld
Thank you for taking the time to find out about Clyde & Co. It is my role to tell you more about our firm. You will no doubt be looking at a number of different law firms. We think there are a number of things that are distinctive about Clyde & Co. The first of these is our international reach and heritage. Of course lots of law firms are international these days but there are not many that are quite as international as us. With nearly 50 offices on six continents, we are the largest single partnership law firm by number of locations. That is no accident. Our international outlook has been part of who we are for a long time. We’ve been in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America for over 25 years. We’ve been in Africa and the United States, the world’s largest legal market, for a decade. This matters because in today’s increasingly global and interconnected world, we find that our clients want advisors that understand the international landscape. A second differentiator is the work we do. Like most of our competitors, we have a full range of practice areas across all aspects of dispute resolution and in corporate & commercial work. But we don’t just stop there. We also have a very defined sector focus. We specialise in the sectors that move (marine, aviation, trading), that build (infrastructure), that power (energy, commodities) and that protect (insurance) our global and interconnected world and underpin global trade and commerce. This matters because, when we speak to our clients we are not just speaking as experts in the law but as experts in their industries too. We find that our clients appreciate that approach.
Finally, we are a law firm that thinks hard about the future. We know that the world we live in is changing. The risks facing international business are more varied and complex than ever before. The impact of technology and the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution will have an effect on all our lives. Our approach is not to hide away from these changes but to tackle them head on. We are committed to innovation. We are committed to understanding how these changes will play out in our clients’ industries. We want to be at the forefront of helping our clients navigate those changes.
If this interests you, we would be delighted to tell you more.
