By selecting a Lex Mundi law firm, clients can have confidence that they will be connected to:

Potential members are evaluated on quality, responsiveness, ability to provide a full range of legal services, reputation, technology, management structure, ethical standards, conflict avoidance procedures, size, court admissions and other criteria.
  • Local market knowledge: Lex Mundi member firms are locally based law firms, indigenous to their areas. As a result, they have developed the expertise most necessary in their jurisdictions as well as strong ties to the legal and business communities.
