Until recently, it was not possible for the smaller firms to have a global footprint

LOS ANGELES - June 6, 2023 - PRLog -- The legal landscape is highly competitive. Big law firms dominate the market for large corporate clients and complex transactions, while boutique firms have the benefit of being independent, nimble, and profitable. The one area of the law where boutique firms are at a disadvantage is in international transactions and litigation.

Clients who pursue cross-border business deals or litigation need firms with offices in multiple countries, a deep bench, and an understanding of the intricacies of international law.

"Small and mid-size law firms may offer international law advice to their clients," says one of the founders of Aliant, "but there are almost none that are present in more than one country.Until recently, it was not possible for the smaller firms to have a global footprint."

Aliant was founded in 2016 to allow boutique firms competing in the international law arena to go toe-to-toe against the Big Law. Using the Aliant model boutique law firms in over 20 countries have been able to pursue larger clients, attract more cross-border legal work, and improve their new client conversion rates through greater credibility.

"In some markets we are seeing local firms competing to carry our brand," states one of Aliant's founders.

Aliant is structured as a Swiss verein (a branded membership association), similar to some of the biggest law and accounting firms. The verein structure allows Aliant law firms to combine their name with the Aliant, gaining access to a globally credible brand, without losing their identity.

Credible branding, access to better clients, and internal referrals without sacrificing independence and profitability are the core of Aliant's value proposition.
