On Monday, 25 November 2024, Simmons & Simmons launched this innovative approach. This model is particularly advantageous in supporting the firm's leading international arbitration practice and enhancing Dublin's reputation as a seat for international arbitration.
The benefits of this partnership model are manifold. Clients of Simmons will now have direct access to a team of barristers with expert legal acumen and experience in handling high-stakes disputes across multiple jurisdictions. This integration ensures a more cohesive strategy in litigation and arbitration matters, enabling more efficient and effective representation.
Furthermore, the firm's international focus, combined with the specialised skills of in-house barristers, positions Simmons & Simmons as the go-to law firm for businesses facing complex legal challenges that span different countries and legal systems. This approach not only streamlines the legal process for clients but also enhances the firm's ability to deliver successful outcomes in cross-border disputes. Clients will benefit from seamless cross-border legal representation.
Rachel Stanton Country Head, Simmons & Simmons Ireland, "We believe that this model will set the standard for legal excellence and client service in the international legal arena. We commend Minister McEntee and the LSRA for their efforts in bringing these legal partnerships into existence."
