Branded networks in accounting include PWC, Deloitte, EY and KPMG. In legal, examples would be Baker McKenzie, Dentons, and DLA. Unbranded examples in accounting are GGI and MSI. Unbranded examples in law are Lex Mundi, TerraLex and Meritas.
LawyersAccountants.com firms were selected from unbranded networks and associations.
Why network members?
Networks rigorously review each new member and have policies with which members must comply on a consistent basis. This ensures a high level of quality.
