Working with our foreign associates When we entrust our foreign associates with the handling of foreign applications on behalf of our European clients, we know that our active support can be decisive for our foreign colleagues in order to ensure the best results. We are the critical liaison between our client and our foreign associate, thanks to our knowledge of the main foreign languages and our fair experience related to the main foreign laws. The result is a higher standard of instructions and a reduced effort deployed by our overseas associates, who do not have to try and redress professionally inexpert instructions. Modiano bases its foreign work solely on this approach, giving the highest preference, on the one hand, to the completeness and quality of the services rendered, and on the other hand, optimizing the costs for the client. Working on behalf of our foreign associates and clients We at Modiano are able to offer high level assistance to our foreign associates thanks to our constant contact with our local clientele and their continuous problems (which are the same all over the world and are not affected by geographical boundaries). This enables us to rely on our own direct experience and helps us to readily grasp all the facets of a problem submitted to us by our foreign associate, so as to promptly offer a creative and effective solution. Moreover, the fluent knowledge of the main foreign languages (English, German, French, Italian, etc.) of our attorneys ensures that all instructions given by our foreign associates are followed by means of the most professional course of action.
