Mackrell International in the Chambers Global ranking – what does this mean for our clients?

In the latest edition of Chambers Global, the ranking team has once again awarded Mackrell International the highest category among global legal networks. This is the fourteenth consecutive year that Mackrell International has maintained this position. For our firm and our clients, this is an important signal that the quality of advice within this global network of law firms remains at a stable, high level.

Chambers Global bases its assessments on independent research and interviews with clients and partner law firms in over 190 jurisdictions. The result therefore reflects real business experience, not just the law firms’ statements. Therefore, in the context of international legal services, we treat this distinction as confirmation that we can safely rely on our network partners – both in cross-border projects and in complex specialist cases that we handle for our clients.

Mackrell International – a global network of law firms of proven quality

Mackrell International (MI) is a global network of law firms that brings together 93 independent law firms and over 4,500 lawyers in more than 60 countries. This gives our clients access to local legal teams while maintaining a consistent standard of service and a single point of contact at our law firm.

Many law firms in the network receive individual awards. Over 30% of member firms and over 230 lawyers are listed in the Chambers rankings. This shows that the high level of advice provided by Mackrell International is the norm rather than the exception – and we can offer this quality to our clients in Poland as well.

Chambers Global – independent ranking of law firms and legal networks

The Chambers Global guide is one of the most recognised legal rankings in the world. Many clients use it when looking for a partner for international legal services.

The Chambers team prepares the ranking based on interviews with clients, case analysis and the opinions of other lawyers. The research covers over 190 jurisdictions. As a result, Mackrell International’s assessment refers to the practice of many law firms and a variety of projects – from litigation to complex M&A transactions. We use this knowledge and experience on a daily basis when handling client cases that require coordination in several countries.

Maintaining the highest category for 14 consecutive years shows that Mackrell International’s global network of law firms is able to consistently deliver a high and consistent level of advice. Regardless of the country and area of practice, clients can expect a similar standard of cooperation – even when they commission a project from our law firm.

Why Chambers Global Mackrell International rankings are important to our clients

Our clients are increasingly expanding their operations beyond Poland. Investments, disputes and regulatory projects are emerging in many jurisdictions. In such situations, it is not only knowledge of local law that counts, but also trust in the teams that take on cases abroad.

Membership in Mackrell International, combined with recognition in Chambers Global, gives us a solid foundation for such cooperation. We know who to call in a given country. We know specific law firms, we have already worked with them on other projects, and the clients of these firms have confirmed their level in an independent survey. Thanks to this, we can offer services in which our law firm coordinates the whole process, and foreign teams contribute their specialist knowledge.

The client retains a single point of contact and consistent communication, even if the project covers several markets at the same time. In practice, this means less risk, fewer misunderstandings and greater predictability of actions – while maintaining full responsibility on our part.

Consistent service standards in cross-border projects

The Mackrell International network builds cooperation on trust and common standards. Member law firms regularly exchange experiences, meet at conferences and work together on specific cases. Our team actively participates in these initiatives, thanks to which we have a good understanding of how our partners in other countries work.

From the client’s perspective, three elements are particularly important: transparent communication, clear identification of risks and predictability of actions. Thanks to our cooperation within Mackrell International, we can more easily ensure this. Teams from different countries know each other and understand their approach to service, and we coordinate their work. This shortens response times and reduces the risk of information discrepancies between jurisdictions.

Support in complex and specialised matters

A network of global law firms is particularly valuable when a project requires narrow, specialised knowledge. This applies, for example, to the TMT/IT, M&A, real estate and compliance sectors. In such matters, it is important not only to know the regulations, but also the practices of regulators and local market standards.

We draw on the experience of Mackrell International teams to verify project assumptions in different countries more quickly. We can compare the approaches of supervisory authorities, discuss typical risks and select a legal structure that is acceptable in several markets at the same time. This allows our clients to make business decisions based on a broader perspective, rather than just the law of one country.

Our role at Mackrell International and day-to-day cooperation

As a member firm of Mackrell International, we actively participate in the life of the network. We take part in working meetings, co-lead projects and share our experience from other jurisdictions. We also maintain constant contact with the management team. This enables us to respond quickly when a client needs support abroad.
