About this network:
Mackrell International is a top-tier network of leading law firms across the world.
Member firms have deep local knowledge and are seamlessly linked internationally. Firms are high-calibre and full-service so have deep and broad expertise in all key industry sectors. The network also has specialists in blockchain and cryptocurrency, data, privacy and cyber-security, fraud, environmental health and is the leading network for cannabis law and CDB advice.
Network Overview:
When you need agile, responsive, high-calibre legal advice – and a little bit more, whether it’s the human touch or the business acumen - Mackrell International delivers for you.
Global in its reach, local in its influence and understanding, the network has provided diverse and distinctive clients with a full range of legal services and common-sense business advice - from international blue-chips and expanding, entrepreneurial businesses, to Family Offices and HNWIs – whatever a client needs, wherever and whenever they need it.
The network doesn’t shout about it; many clients who have used Mackrell International refer to the network as a ‘family’ and it’s this ‘quiet’ reputation that has seen the network grow to almost 100 firms with 4,500 lawyers in more than 60 countries. But numbers aren’t important – it’s the strength of the relationships, the trust, the willingness to go the extra mile in a heartbeat that makes the difference.
Mackrell International’s law firms share a commitment to exceptional client service, to the highest standard of ethics and to working together, across borders and cultures; members also commit to supporting each other, lifting each other up, personally and professionally and to promoting diversity in all its forms.
Looking to the future, the network is also developing the next generation of lawyers, actively supporting and encouraging women in the legal profession and evolving and adapting to tackle the ever-changing legal and business challenges of the 21st century. Through the pandemic, the network both grew as a ‘family’ and connected its people and its clients as never before offering help and added value for the benefit of all.
David Ettinger of Keller & Heckman’s Shanghai office (Chair) and Keith Heddle (Managing Director) [email protected] based in the UK, are the key contacts for the network.
