Harrison Drury joins international alliance
LAW firm Harrison Drury has joined a worldwide alliance of professional firms.
The firm, which has offices in Preston, Garstang and Kendal, is now part of the Alliott Group which has more than 170 member firms, including law, accountancy and consulting businesses, in 70 countries.
It means Harrison Drury’s clients can benefit from specialist advice from partner firms in foreign jurisdictions, while the firm also has the opportunity to advise overseas businesses that need legal help in the UK.
Managing partner John Chesworth said: “Our strong emphasis on the SME sector, and our growth regionally in the UK, has led to a significant increase in the number of our clients needing specialist advice in overseas markets.
“Being a member of The Alliott Group has increased our international reach, enabling our clients to benefit from the expertise of other business professionals, but also allowing us to develop new business opportunities, both domestically and overseas.
“For example, we were recently contacted by a client who is entering into a joint venture in the United States and as a preliminary matter needed advice on his visa application. We were able to put him straight in touch with New York lawyer from the Alliott Group who was able to assist.”
The Alliott Group network, founded in 1979, operates in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific with 214 offices.
