Brisbane commercial law firm Tucker & Cowen Solicitors has been appointed as the Queensland law firm member of a leading global law firm alliance. The moves gives MSI coverage across Australia's major commercical centres.
Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- With a growing list of larger clients involved in national and international business, Brisbane law firm Tucker & Cowen Solicitors was looking for a solution that would enable the firm to service its client base, yet retain its independent status.
And with MSI Legal & Accounting Network Worldwide (MSI) actively seeking a strong, mid-sized law firm member in Brisbane to complete its coverage across Australia's major commercial centres, an affiliation made sense for both parties.
"It is important for a growing firm such as Tucker & Cowen that we can demonstrate to our clients strong, personal relationships with professional contacts in other cities across Australia and internationally," says David Tucker, the firm's Managing Partner.
"Our MSI membership reduces the risk inherent in referring a client to another professional firm. We know many of the other lawyers and accountants in the alliance personally, and our clients can count on receiving the same levels of service from our affiliates as they receive from us."
"It has taken MSI a while to find the right Brisbane law firm, but Tucker & Cowen Solicitors provides an excellent match in terms of its size, client base and its broad spectrum of commercial services. The firm already knows many of the Australian lawyers well, and brings valuable additional strength to MSI's well-established alliance of legal and accounting firms in the ANZ region," says MSI's Chief Executive James Mendelssohn.
The three-partner, 30-staff firm provides a wide range of commercial legal services with specialties that include litigation, insolvency, real estate and alternative dispute resolution. Affiliation with MSI enables the firm to extend its services to include the provision of a broad range of sophisticated, cross-border professional advisory services through MSI's membership of carefully selected, highly skilled, independent professional firms located in 100 countries.
Mendelssohn adds: "Professional firms and their clients are facing similar challenges around the world, and we have seen a huge increase in the number of firms applying for membership in recent months. We encourage applications from independent accounting and law firms in cities where MSI does not currently have member firms."
