First Law International secures Irwin Mitchell as main UK member

Law firm Irwin Mitchell has announced that it is to become the main UK member of First Law International (FLI).

Established in 2001, FLI is based in Brussels and is a global network of over 80 independent national law firms, representing over 14,000 lawyers.

Irwin Mitchell has joined the network as part of its international growth strategy which involves establishing and consolidating a network of closely aligned law firms across the globe. Joining FLI will facilitate inward introduction of English legal work to Irwin Mitchell and it will also ensure it has a credible source of high quality law firms in most jurisdictions to which it can introduce clients requiring legal support outside the UK.

As part of the relationship, Irwin Mitchell Corporate partner and Head of International, Bryan Bletso, together with IP and Media partner Georgie Collins, will join a FLI delegation to the ACC Annual Conference in Austin, Texas on the 21 October 2018. The convention is the largest gathering of international General Counsels in the world. In addition, FLI will also unveil its newest IT innovations that will provide clients with a smoother and faster experience in dealing with multi-jurisdictional projects online from their mobile devices.

Victoria Brackett, Chief Executive of Irwin Mitchell’s Business Legal Services division, said: “We have been hugely impressed with FLI and I am confident the organisation will play a big role in helping us meet our international growth aspirations.  This is a key area for the firm and we are extremely excited to be joining one of the world’s most credible networks.

“FLI will not only help increase the amount of incoming work we generate from overseas, it will also offer a wide spread of jurisdictional coverage with firms of a size capable of supporting most queries that our client base could require.”
