Date: September 21st, 2019 10:35 PM Author: domesticated scarlet rehab If you have a foreign co. that is dealing with US authorities / civil litigation on an issue that ties back to their home country / region in a meaningful way (not uncommon), they're going to want a US-caliber firm. If you don't have an office or some other way of signaling you understand the locale (like a deep bench of attorneys w./ regional ties--at which point why not just set up the office--or very strong ties w./ local firms--which gets complicated because there's risk of backhanded competition), you're going to lose out to the US firm that does every single time on pure credibility grounds. This begs the question that you care about losing out on these sort of pitches. For firms that are feeling that their domestic growth prospects are constrained and there are international opportunities, they care. Also firms that are just world eaters and want growth everywhere. For firms that feel they have a strong domestic growth trajectory, they care less. There are other, supporting reasons to want to get into international markets (especially Latin America, Middle East)--competition is less fierce, prospect of fee insensitivity if you get the right client. Prediction: You're going to see more growth in international offices among the V50 in the next ten years then you did in the prior ten, or the ten before that.

Date: September 21st, 2019 10:41 PM Author: domesticated scarlet rehab The foreign firms are great for foreign-centric issues / foreign authorities (and will win on price almost every time) but you don't want a foreign firm representing you in front of the SEC.

Date: September 21st, 2019 10:48 PM Author: Rambunctious aggressive mood public bath k but the lawyers in nyc aren't in hong kong or whatever and they still have to pay/scale out their law firm into random foreign countries and manage attorneys there. "synergy" bs just sounds dumb at that point. having offices abroad just sounds like an opportunity for law firms to pretend to be more cosmopolitan and for boomers to bang hookers abroad while expensing hotel rooms.

Date: September 21st, 2019 10:53 PM Author: domesticated scarlet rehab ur instinct that a lot of the international offices set up by law firms in the past were based on shaky business justifications (especially pre-ITE--check out all the intl office closings around 10/11/12) isn't wrong; you definitely had some instances of the global committee thinking it would be cool to have an office in Shanghai or Paris or Munich just for the fuck of it. But that doesn't mean there aren't also legitimate reasons to have them and those reasons are growing for elite firms. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4348334&forum_id=2#38867831) |
