Meritas Law Firms Worldwide, one of the largest groups of independent, full- service law firms. In fact it is so impor- tant, he says some incorporate it in their branding. "We have the Meritas logo on the cards," he says. "The Meritas brand is one with us."
And since most of these alliances list
their members for free in their directo- ries and web sites, an in-house counsel
can easily find firms around the world. So if an Ontario company wants to do business on the other side of the world, let's just say Albania, the Meritas web site leads to Boga & Associates, a firm that might be unknown outside of the tiny country, but it is a name most foreign companies operating in Albania would instantly recognize, according to local experts and international rating indexes.
While membership in these inter-
national groupings gives a leg-up to firms around the world, they also need to adapt to the shifting needs of their global clients, who say find- ing the right representation is not always easy particularly when doing business in parts of the world where companies might have no experience and no local contacts.
New economy. New demands. Proven value.
