Summary: A new network formed by four law firms in different countries called The Legal Alliance of the Americas aims to give clients a smoother experience by pooling resources and expertise.
Watch out criminals, The Legal Alliance of the Americas will get you. The network between four firms throughout the North and South Americas will enable them to better serve clients. Arizpe, Valdes & Marcos in Mexico, Estudio Malis & Asoc. in Argentina, Rothman Sperling Padovan Duarte in Brazil, and Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone in the U.S. have been working together for months before forming the alliance.
Each firm will still run independently but will collaborate their resources and expertise to offer services to clients through a seamless service that goes across North and South America. They hope to bring more law firms into the network.
