We don’t often imagine that an attorney could be a strategic partner when considering new markets for a product or service, but I’d recommend you think again. Withers Bergman, a midsize law firm with offices in the US, UK, Italy and Switzerland is a standout; they are great attorneys but what makes the firm a must-evaluate resource for transatlantic marketers is that they really get the business side, too.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet a number of the partners and senior lawyers at the firm, first at its launch event for its handbook for Americans in London (with fantastic pragmatic advice across a wide range of personal, tax, legal and cultural subjects), and then subsequently in pursuit of opportunities for clients and prospects. Everyone at the firm with whom I spoke or met has strong business acumen and understanding of entrepreneurship to go with their law degrees. If you’re considering a new venture that crosses borders, I strongly recommend that you consult with Withers before making a move overseas or a major financial or legal decision involving your personal or business affairs
. The advice they offer could be very valuable.
