Offshore Magic Circle - Multi-jurisdiction Firms

Multi-jurisdiction Firms

The following table sets out the offshore jurisdictions in which the principal multi-jurisdictional offshore firms have offices (correct as at June 2012). The table does not list "sales" offices, such London, Zurich, Dubai or Hong Kong. Dublin is included in this table due to the move of Maples and Walkers into the "onshore" market where they now compete with the Irish law firms.

Famous quotes containing the word firms:

    While waiting to get married, several forms of employment were acceptable. Teaching kindergarten was for those girls who stayed in school four years. The rest were secretaries, typists, file clerks, or receptionists in insurance firms or banks, preferably those owned or run by the family, but respectable enough if the boss was an upstanding Christian member of the community.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
