Since 1990

+7.5k organisations

Digital media investment group, ADVNCR, was introduced to Multilaw through Irish member firm, Philip Lee. As the relationship strengthened

between client and firm, the services expanded and a Multilaw firm now advises on every proposed or completed acquisition, investment or joint

venture. Calling in support from Australia member firm, Macpherson Kelly, provided guidance on local jurisdiction, and the involvement of US

member firm, Polsinelli, helped to support the global restructure and move of the parent company to the US.

Assisting fast-growing gaming investment business to restructure

Longstanding client of UK member firm Penningtons Manches, a global film and media company, drew upon the expertise of the

Multilaw network when advice was needed in Germany and Italy to minimise the risk of liabilities during contract terminations and the

sensitive handling of transgender issues.

Flexibility allows global media business to

manage staffing change across Europe

US member firm Polsinelli helped veterinary petcare company, Heska Corporation, to expand its operations overseas. Transparency

and on demand reporting ensured the formation of foreign subsidiaries with support from Multilaw members in Australia, France, The

Netherlands and New Zealand. Governance and general corporate transaction counsel continues for this client.

Helping Heska Corporation go global

Australian member firm Macpherson Kelley acted for a large, multi-national power equipment business on the re-draft of its trading arrangements to

allow the company’s expansion into the Asia Pacific region. The international team called on Multilaw colleagues in Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia,

Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. Consistency and communication ensured the contract was amended to reflect local laws. Project

management efficiency meant that the team was able to scope, coordinate and deliver this complex project in two weeks.

M&A and corporate advice to

German member firm Schalast regularly assists The Viessmann Group, an international manufacturer of heating, industrial, and

refrigeration systems headquartered in Germany on corporate and M&A matters.

Multilaw member firms in China, Canada, Italy and The Netherlands have also been working for the client on various M&A and business

transactions throughout the last year and establishing their own direct client relationships with Viessmann’s legal department.

Viessmann Group

Member firm Heussen Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, in Germany, has a long standing

relationship with one of the world’s largest manufacturers of cleaning equipment, Kärcher.

Over more than a decade, Karcher has regularly engaged Multilaw firms across various practice

areas in over 30 jurisdictions, often initiating meetings with new member firms

upon admission.

Working with Kärcher in

more than 30 jurisdictions "When selecting a law firm

outside Germany my first

choice is Multilaw. Excellent

quality for a fair price."

Horst Teller (Vice President

General Legal Counsel) -

Kärcher

Games Workshop, the global games and miniatures

manufacturer and retailer with a yearly turnover in excess of

£100 million needed help with the provision of employment

and immigration legal services in all of the countries in which

they operate.

They contacted UK member firm Shakespeare Martineau

who were able to quickly put together a proposal covering all

of the jurisdictions required.

Global Employment Services for

Games WorkshopThe proposal was successful against some stiff competition.

The client was impressed by the combination of the UK firm

providing the central key account management, the breadth

of the Multilaw presence across the world and the

capabilities of the network to provide a seamless service.
