Law firms located
outside the United States that represent clients with international needs in the
current economic and political environment require up-to-the-moment information
in their areas of interest. Moreover, knowledge of the intricate relationships
among countries, corporations and even families throughout the Americas is an
essential part of assessing the implications of taking on clients with problems
in the US, where a law firm may not be represented. In some situations, the
Firm may need a quick study on a particular problem area, or require
introductions at decision-making levels of government. At other times, the Firm
may wish to encourage a government decision in favor of its client. Simon
International offers these services.
Simon International is in constant touch with
developments in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, and in
Europe that have implications for clients located outside the United States,
whether in other countries of the Americas, or in Europe or Asia. The company
monitors the top business and policy publications, maintains active membership
in select international associations, attends key policy events in the US and
abroad, and importantly, sustains a presence throughout the capitals of the
Americas and Europe.
Personal relationships with current US
officials in Washington and abroad, with Chambers of Commerce and key foreign
business, and with government and academic sectors add to the flow of
information and judgment. Simon International is part of a network of policy
level individuals, in and out of government, that provide finely targeted and
relevant information and policy advice. This information is packaged in concise
reports delivered in response to the Firm’s needs.
This information may be used as part of programs to:
-
Strengthen the Firm’s US capacity.
-
Provide information on specific issues or problem
areas in the US.
-
Accomplish the Firm’s specific objectives in the US.
