Powerful Legal Teams
We have powerful legal teams of lawyers, paralegals and secretaries capable of providing our clients with effective practical solutions. Each team has hands-on experience in achieving real results for clients in almost every sector of business. Because so many of our clients are domestic or foreign multi-national corporations, our teams also have tremendous experience in the international arena.

Emphasis on Training and Continuing Education for Our Lawyers
By providing legal services within our legal team system, our lawyers gain invaluable experience in cases spanning a wide range of practice areas, thereby adding to their knowledge and competency. Learning continues through participation by our lawyers in foreign legal studies programs, independent research and study arrangements and/or through placements with educational and governmental institutions. Further training is accomplished through internal office study sessions and by virtue of our specialty practice group system.
