Network Overview:

The Interlex Group® is an association of leading law firms around the world that cooperate to provide a complete range of international legal and business services to clients. Since its founding in 1973, Interlex has grown and prospered. Interlex members take great pride in the quality and promptness of the services they provide, and attribute such high standards to the strict criteria employed in the selection of member firms.

Interlex currently consists of 47 firms, across 160 cities in 60 countries.

In addition to highly selective membership criteria, the strength of Interlex is derived from the personal relationships fostered between lawyers in different countries. These relationships are formed and cultivated by annual meetings of the group as a whole, smaller regional meetings, periodic meetings of specialists with one another and, of course, by regularly working together for clients. Interlex members believe that close personal relationships enable them to call upon one another with confidence, thus setting Interlex apart from many law firm associations which are mere collections of names in directories.

Interlex firms are entirely independent of one another. Interlex is not a partnership or joint venture, and each member firm is, and will continue to be, solely responsible for its own work product and staff. In all instances, clients’ interests are paramount. Interlex firms pay no referral fees to one another.
