2021 marks 20 years since First Law International (FLI), today a global legal network and legal-services provider, made its humble beginnings as a one-man team based in Brussels, Belgium. The company has since grown to over 17,000 attorneys worldwide, with more than 100 member firms under the First Law International umbrella, establishing FLI as a leader on the global legal market and as the industry’s regular thought-leader and pioneer in disruption.

First Law International is pleased to announce it is expanding by onboarding a new Partner, Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, a full-service law firm based in India.

Steptoe & Johnson PLLC joins First Law International as the largest U.S corporate and commercial law firm. With a strong commitment to legal service-quality and client-relationships, Steptoe & Johnson promises to be one with a high-focus on international market-growth and increased service clients requiring legal services in their domestic jurisdictions in the United States.

After a year packed with change and adaptability, First Law International emerged victorious as The Lawyer’s Global Network of the Year 2020, a prestigious award given to the most innovative Global Network by a panel of judges comprised of Global General Counsel.
