The International Practice of Foley may seem different from those of other law firms, and it is. While other firms concentrate on developing large foreign offices, we have focused on establishing a strong regional foreign legal network and excellent relationships with well-known and highly regarded firms in foreign markets. Our philosophy is to combine Foley's strengths and award-winning client service technologies with the local fluency of the leading foreign law firms we partner with, for the benefit of our clients in cross-border matters. By leveraging respected local counsel rather than competing with them, we differentiate ourselves from other firms and offer enhanced value to our clients.Although we work closely with our network of international law firms, Foley's International Practice attorneys also thoroughly understand the nuances of conducting business across borders. With offices in Brussels, Belgium, Tokyo, Japan, and Shanghai, China and more than 75 attorneys who concentrate on international work, Foley has extensive experience in representing U.S. and non-U.S. clients in cross-border transactions throughout the world.
Our foreign experience and strong relationships with foreign counsel allow us to quickly assemble a custom team of lawyers with the right knowledge and approach to meet client needs. Foley, as a trusted advisor, carefully manages all resources — domestic and foreign — to offer our clients a simplified, single-point of contact for complex international matters.
Foley's outstanding reputation in business law, intellectual property, and litigation legal services is recognized by emerging companies and Fortune 100, multinational companies alike. Clients in a variety of industries, with increasingly global markets and demands on their business, turn to Foley.
