The Best Advice Is Built Across Borders

As clients’ challenges become more complex and increasingly cross-border, effective legal advice depends on more than access to expertise. Tom Kári Kristjánsson, Partner and Chairman of the Board at Plesner, shares his perspective on why strong international advice depends on knowing the right people, building trust before the need arises and turning different perspectives into value for the client.

When clients operate across markets and jurisdictions, their legal challenges rarely fit neatly within one country or one area of expertise. Strong advice therefore comes from combining specialist legal expertise with industry knowledge, experience and judgement, and applying that combination to the client’s specific situation.
