Affiliation

Through our membership in Ally Law, a prestigious network of business-oriented law firms, our clients have access to swift and effective legal advice in 60 countries.

Varnum attorneys attend regular global and regional Ally Law meetings in person so that we get to know attorneys from other Ally Law firms. These personal relationships enable us to recommend Ally Law firms as attorneys we know and trust. Ally Law’s commitment to excellent client service means we are often able to arrange local counsel and provide answers to international legal questions within 24 hours.

Ally Law member firms have assisted Varnum clients with such matters as an acquisition in New Zealand, the tax effect of equity incentives in India and Korea, and documenting a loan to a multinational company with assets in Italy.

International work can be coordinated by Varnum, or a client can work directly with an Ally Law member firm, whichever best fits that client’s situation.

Varnum LLP is the only Michigan firm invited to join Ally Law. The process of becoming a member is highly selective; candidates undergo a detailed selection procedure, including interviews and an on-site visit. Specific areas firms are rated on include:

• Professional excellence
• The highest standard of ethics
• Timeliness
• Service strength

Quality evaluations are ongoing to ensure that client satisfaction remains high. In addition, Ally Law members share best practices in the areas of technology, process improvement and client service.
