International Co-Counsel and Foreign Local Counsel Resources International Counsel delivers cross-border and US domestic legal services both through its international counsel team members as well as through its local counsel resources in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and elsewhere. International Counsel is a law practice with a track record dating to the mid-1990s backed by malpractice insurance, not an interim placement firm, and is able to deliver the pooled best practice experience of lawyers who have handled some of the most sensitive matters in many of the world’s murkiest markets. We have done so on behalf of leading international companies and our team members have often worked together both as part of International Counsel and in various combinations of lawyer-client relationships. For example, team members have been former clients and former clients have become team members.
International Counsel Senior Lawyer Resources and Management Since our formation in 1997, International Counsel team members have included lawyers with the following in-house backgrounds:
Importantly, ongoing oversight of client matters comes from one of our senior attorneys to assure prompt delivery of services with a consistent level of quality and results. Currently leading our service delivery and client relations is David Laverty, one of the firm’s co-founders. International Counsel team members are added depending on the needs of our clients and projects, and are governed by our practices and procedures, including as related to conflicts of interest and ethical practices.

Foreign Local Counsel As discussed in our Practice Summary, while our approach is to handle much of the structuring, drafting and negotiating of projects based on our internal skill-set and access to local law materials, many of our projects require the input of on-the-ground resources in our clients' target countries. Up-to-the-minute guidance on applicable law and practice as well as its critical real-world application is essential to the process. We have also developed ways to manage and control foreign local counsel resources at substantial cost savings to our clients. Similar to the practice of major multinational companies, we continually monitor the capabilities of outstanding lawyers in Europe, Asia, Latin America and elsewhere. When these lawyers have proven themselves to be both excellent sources of substantive advice as well as sensitive to our needs for responsiveness and cost-control, the lawyers are added to our working group of "preferred partners." We also evaluate such lawyers in accordance with best practices in handling confidentiality, conflict avoidance and other ethical matters. The fee statements of our local counsel colleagues are integrated with ours, allowing for our review and close management of overall costs and resource allocation.
