Our beginnings

Lexlink began as a shared idea between four lawyers, Brian Burgess (London), Owen Ness (Scotland), Bertil Edqvist (Sweden), and Tony Sheil (Ireland), who regularly worked together and recognised the value of trusted international collaboration.

That small circle became the foundation of what is now a highly regarded network of law firms, each selected for their legal expertise, professional integrity, and personal commitment to cross-border cooperation.

What sets Lexlink apart?

  • One firm per country:
    Ensures dedicated, conflict-free representation in each jurisdiction.
  • English-speaking communication:
    Smooth interaction across borders.
  • No referral fees:
    Ensures impartial, client-first referrals.
  • Annual meetings:
    Members meet regularly to strengthen professional ties and share knowledge.
  • Shared values:
    A consistent business philosophy built on mutual trust, cultural understanding, and quality legal service.

Unlike large, impersonal legal alliances, Lexlink thrives on personal relationships among member lawyers and clients.

Our network is founded on a shared business philosophy and a commitment to fostering close, personal relationships among members. To uphold these values, we maintain a policy of admitting only one firm per country. This approach ensures that each member enjoys exclusivity within their jurisdiction, promoting trust and collaboration.

In recognition of this exclusivity, we kindly request that member firms prioritize our network in their international affiliations and refrain from participating in other legal networks. This mutual commitment strengthens our collective identity and enhances the value we provide to our clients.
