At BGI GLOBAL, we are always looking to expand and strengthen our global network of la firms. On 15 April, our President Mark Summerfield paid a strategic visit to a candidate firm in Switzerland, reaffirming our commitment to building relationships with high quality firms around the world.
The firm was introduced to us by our member firm in France, NMW Law, and in particular by one of its partner Mrs Sarah Lugan.
During the visit, Mr Summerfield met with the firm’s partners and lawyers to learn more about the firm, its areas of specialisation, exchange information about our network, and discuss how its incorporation and membership would offer added value to both its clients and the clients of our other members. The meeting was highly productive, with a focus on sharing ideas and aligning on common goals.
This visit underlines our dedication to continue to grow and to ensure that our members have access to first class global support. The addition of a Swiss office is a major step in strengthening our presence in Europe and providing our members with access to new markets and opportunities.
Finally, in late April 2024 and after a unanimous vote of the entire BGI GLOBAL Executive Committee, Zaehringen Attorneys joined our network. We are excited about the possibilities that this new partnership will bring and we will continue to work to expand our network with the best lawyers around the world.
