A Shropshire lawyer has been building business connections with
professionals from all over the world at an international
convention.
Stuart Haynes, from the Commercial Team at Martin-Kaye LLP
Solicitors, in Telford, took part in the latest Integrated Advisory
Group (IAG) meeting in San Francisco.
Martin-Kaye Solicitors were one of the founder members of the
network which began in 1989, and which has 67 members from across
Europe, north and south America, and the Middle East.
It's made up of lawyers, accountants and tax advisers from 31
countries, and hosts three meetings a year in a different city each
time.
"At Martin-Kaye, we're increasingly finding that we are dealing
with cases which have an international element and our strong links
with the IAG network are proving to be invaluable.
"The IAG meetings give us access to the very best professionals
from all over the world, which is extremely useful, and it means we
can handle even the most complex international cases from right
here in Telford.
"Not only is this convenient for our clients, many of whom have
bases overseas, but more importantly, it also reduces their legal
costs."
Martin-Kaye's international links are paying off more and more
frequently, and the firm has recently used IAG members to complete
work in Chile, Poland, South Africa, UAE, Spain, Germany and
Italy.
Stuart said the latest decision taken by IAG members was to join
forces with Kingston Sorel International - another business network
giving members access to even more expert advice.
"At the latest meeting, we heard how the group is continuing to
expand, with three new prospective members attending - legal firms
from Seattle, Toronto and Dallas.
"Each member is carefully selected and the aim is to include
professionals in all major centres of commercial activity
worldwide."
Stuart said discussions at the latest meeting had also included
international business transactions, cross-border litigation, tax,
labour law, and real estate and commercial property issues.
