Elite Member Firm Network
Global Coverage, Local Expertise
Ranked an Elite Global Network by Chambers and Partners, World Law Group is one of the oldest and largest international networks of independent full-service law firms, specifically created to meet the legal needs of multinational companies. Founded in 1988, the network's founding firms had the foresight to see the growing need to service clients globally while understanding the value of local knowledge and insight.
Qualified, Trusted Advisors
World Law Group's invitation-only membership policy ensures our member firms are of the caliber that other members and their clients expect and deserve. Each member is reviewed regularly to ensure the firm meets our
membership criteria and the expectations of other members. All of our member firms are recognized by legal arbiters such as Chambers and Partners, The Legal500, and the International Financial Law Review.
Seamless Client Service
Consistent and experienced teams work together seamlessly and marshal the exact expertise and resources required to meet clients' needs. Our members collaborate on thousands of client matters per year, with a guaranteed 24-hour response time. We've developed the kind of cohesive approach that many multinational firms would envy – and that many clients have learned to appreciate.
Top Thought Leadership
Our Knowledge Center holds relevant and timely insights from our member firms, WLG webinar recordings and articles, and WLG news.
Our Publications & Guides center houses global comparative guides authored by our member firms.
WLG partners with Content Syndicator JD Supra to leverage our content more effectively by sharing it with corporate executives, in-house counsel, and media outside of the WLG network.
Connecting Globally
Events: Semi-annual conferences, annual regional conferences, and meetups at significant industry events enable lawyers to develop and deepen solid personal relationships. Additionally, our members collaborate virtually via webinars and videoconferences throughout the year.
Programs: Our First Fifteen programs are designed to engage younger lawyers in member firms through three unique opportunities - WLG | exchange (four-week exchange), WLG | immersion (customized internships), and WLG | beyond borders (six-week virtual internship program).
Borderless Collaboration
Practice & Industry Groups
Professionals practicing in various specialty areas share information on international legal trends, local developments, and related client challenges through regular videoconferences, webinars, get-togethers at major industry conferences, and publishing collaborative guides..

World Law Group and its member firms are committed to their communities, their people, and the environment.

The forum meets regularly and plans an annual network-wide CSR initiative—WLG | impact. Over the course of a month, our members complete projects in their communities, such as sustainability challenges, educational programs, planting and recycling, overall carbon reduction, clean-ups, and even implementing and promoting sustainable practices in their firms.
