In today’s highly competitive business environment, even a small U.S. company often needs to consider doing business or trading with partners outside the United States in search of lower costs, new markets, or other opportunities abroad.  Yet, most U.S. companies and organizations suffer from considerable lack of reliable information regarding lawyers and legal resources outside the United States.  Many qualified lawyers outside the United States often fail to be recognized by potential U.S. clients who would benefit from their services.  Also, there are limited avenues through which lawyers who participate in this global marketplace can collaborate and learn from each other to improve their services in cross-border matters.

Jurafide.com offers the following services to help the international legal community to address these issues:

1.            Opportunities for non-U.S. lawyers and U.S. companies and organizations to find each other to address legal issues outside the United States

            There are directories of local lawyers in many jurisdictions, but they are often biased toward large, expensive law firms, when the advice that is needed can be handled competently by a cheaper, smaller firm.  A non-U.S. lawyer may work for a small law firm, on the other hand, that lacks the global reach or marketing capabilities to be noticed by potential U.S. clients.  At Jurafide.com, a U.S. company or organization can make an informed and effective decision to hire a lawyer outside the United States, while a non-U.S. lawyer can have access to information about potential clients.
