A posh address and international attitude keep this firm quite popular. Here, language and a little bit of attitude go a long way to servicing the almost exclusively international clientele, especially in the cross-border transactional departments. With better inter-firm communication than most multi-nationals, this firm doesn't like to think in terms of branch offices, even though they are spread worldwide. With a deceptively small group of attorneys for a large presence, this office allows associates a good deal of opportunity to get on glamorous files and run with them.
