IAG International (Integrated Advisory Group International)
Multidisciplinary Region: International Members: 71 Professionals: 1600
Our deep personal knowledge and trust of one another makes all the difference. IAG is unique in the level of well-justified confidence it builds and maintains between members. International offices don't mean distant relationships. IAG members know one another. Each member firm is carefully selected after an exhaustive interviewing process. We hold three meetings a year, each in a different country. Over time, this discipline, plus the operational experience of working together, allows every member to develop strong bonds of trust, and often friendship, with every other member. This dynamic translates into seamless, hassle-free service for members' clients around the world. When we pick up the phone to speak to a member in another country on your behalf, we're talking to someone we know and in whom we have confidence. No red tape. Quick answers to easy questions; expedited strategy and action on more complex challenges. We work with large companies, medium sized businesses, and individuals. Our members include lawyers, accountants, tax advisers and fiduciaries, some of whom work in association with other specialists: economists, real estate advisers or financial advisers. No matter what your challenge, no matter where it is, you won't have to feel like you're working in a country that's "foreign" to you ever again.

Region: Europe Members: 13 Professionals: 150
The InterAct group was founded in 1990, by Pitmans, based in Reading, UK, at a time when that firm felt a need to be part a European-wide association, to obtain reliable legal services for its clients. With trade expanding within the European Community, Pitmans increasingly had to be able to obtain legal advice throughout the Community . There were six founder members, all of whom had been personally recommended for membership, and who were all visited at their offices by partners of Pitmans before being admitted to membership.

PLG offers the ideal alternative to the big global law firms.

PLG partners and lawyers are experienced in advising clients engaged in international transactions. Particular importance is placed upon the need to bridge not only legal and linguistic differences, but also cultural differences between negotiating parties, which is why clients often call upon PLG partners to be present in business negotiations from an early stage. PLG lawyers are multi-lingual allowing the client to conduct his business away from home in his own language. Since 1988 Pannone Law Group has steadily expanded and now has offices in most European countries, with associate offices in other parts of the world, bringing together more than 900 lawyers and civil law notaries. The members of PLG are separate entities - each a respected practice in its own right. PLG's Board of Directors meets three times a year to consider future development and operational matters.

The Fraud Network

Our Mission … is to provide clients with tried and tested Fraud Specialists throughout the globe who know how to get results. We do this by bringing together lawyers who have worked together successfully before on fraud cases who share the same philosophy and understand that creativity and aggression are critical when confronted with international fraud. Because clients need to know the credentials and suitability of the individual lawyer who is entrusted to handle a sensitive and complicated fraud case, the Network provides the client with at least one referee for each member. Success in international fraud cases is often determined by one or two critical decisions taken at the outset of the case when there is very little information available. These decisions usually involve obtaining injunctions to preserve assets or evidence prior to commencing proceedings. Network members are experienced injunction specialists who know how to explain complex and technical legal concepts in simple terms to enable clients to make the right decision under pressure.
