Reprints
Law firms based in four countries have created an alliance to deliver legal services internationally for insurers and their clients.
Firms participating in Legalign Global alliance are New York-based Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker L.P.; Cologne, Germany-based BLD Bach Langheid Dallmayr; London-based DAC Beachcroft; and Sydney-based Wotton + Kearney, according to the statement issued Monday.
Combined, the firms have 2,000 attorneys in 58 offices throughout the United States, Europe, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, said the statement.
The statement said the group will use “an innovative legal services model for the insurance sector delivered seamlessly across jurisdictions by best-in-region law firms that share consistent, unparalleled service standards.”
The group will focus on insurance/reinsurance coverage, insurance/reinsurance defense and insurance regulatory and compliance, said the statement.
“The globalization of our economy has resulted in an increasing number of companies conducting business across jurisdictions, requiring multinational insurance programs and creating a demand for high-quality, consistent legal representation when cross-border disputes occur,” said Wilson Elser chairman Daniel J. McMahon in the statement.
“Legalign Global, unlike networks of loosely affiliated law firms, is a closely knit, integrated alliance with a codified global client service charter that helps ensure all member firms deliver consistent, quality service to our clients.”
