We have 140 member firms throughout the world. Our 80 US firms maintain offices in 95 of the 100 largest metropolitan areas. Our 60 international firms are located throughout Europe, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Africa, Canada, Mexico and South America. ALFA Internationals mission is to provide high quality, cost-efficient legal services wherever our clients need them. The ALFA International model enables our members to use their local expertise to deliver highly effective legal solutions, often drawing upon the collective wisdom and experience of other member firms. ALFA International clients have the benefit of a geographically comprehensive network of exceptional law firms and accomplished trial and business counsel. Our member firms meet high standards to be part of the ALFA International network and are well respected by their peers. Our members establish broad, deep relationships with each other by attending ALFA International CLE seminars throughout the year and working together on compendia, seminar programming, and most importantly, client matters. As a result, referrals among ALFA International firms represent partnerships between trusted friends and colleagues. Our many events also provide corporate counsel with the opportunity to network among ALFA International lawyers and their peer in-house lawyers. In addition to the Practice Groups below, our member firms also have expertise in Admiralty & Maritime, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Antitrust & Trade Regulation, Bankruptcy, Corporate & Securities, Environmental Law, Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer, Foreign Investment, Government Relations, Lobbying, & Administrative Law, Immigration, M&A, Oil & Gas, Tax & Venture Capital & Financing.

We serve as part-time or full-time interim CFOs, or work on a project basis to find solutions during periods of transition or critical need. Clients are typically closely held and/or managed, with our direction received from the CEO, owners, or the Board of Directors. We often work closely with executive managers to identify and resolve key issues and develop financial strategies supporting long term objectives.
