This guide introduces to the top legal

firms and minds in the country.

The intention is to help executives

orient themselves to the lawyers

who have the track record and ex-

pertise to guide their companies

through compliance, major deals

and commercial disputes.

Those executives should use the

guide to identify which firms provide

expertise in the practice area, and to

understand what sort of experience

both the individual lawyer and the

firm have in this practice area.

AmCham hopes this proves to be a

good way to start your search for

your legal partner, and welcomes

any feedback aimed at making this

primer better.

firms are listed alphabetically

by membership category.

each firm has been asked to

provide highlights from their

practice, the names of legal

leads for significant practice

areas, and contacts for those

leads.
