We’re only as good as the quality of our member firms and Ms. Boyd makes us stronger and better able to meet the needs of our other members’ clients in business and intellectual property matters.”
Nextlaw Global Referral Network was created by Dentons, the largest law firm in the world. The network, which is free to join, employs a detailed screening system to guarantee the quality of its member firms and has developed proprietary technology to allow members to identify lawyers at other member firms with the appropriate experience where clients need legal counsel.
