Produced in January, the Directory is intended to be useful for a one-year period. Corrections to member listings throughout the year will be made on the USLAW web site at www.uslaw.org Information for this Directory is taken from the USLAW member database. Please contact USLAW Headquarters at (800) 231-9110 or by email to [email protected] if any inaccuracies exist in the listings contained in the Directory and please report any changes as they occur during the year. LETTER FROM THE CHAIR i I am proud to share with you the 2015 edition of the USLAW Membership Directory. As you peruse the pages you will learn about the strength and depth of our USLAW members, full-practice firms with roots in civil litigation. Our members stretch from coast to coast across the U.S. and Canada, as well as, covering important international business communities. All of our members pride themselves in offering highly knowledgeable and skilled local jurisdictional experience across a broad spectrum of practice areas. Unlike other legal networks, USLAW is organized around client expectations, not around the member law firms. As a network, we are proud of our ability, focus and drive to be highly responsive to requests for assistance. We succeed because our member firms’ clients succeed. As such, we are committed to delivering timely services, resources, and educational opportunities for clients. We highlight many of these resource opportunities in the pages that follow. Through this Directory and via the NETWORK, you have access to wellestablished and vetted law firms with lawyers who think and act as one organization and in the best interests of every client introduced through USLAW. Please reach out to any of us – at any time – if we can assist you with any of your legal needs. On behalf of our nearly 100 member firms (and their more than 6,000 attorneys) from across the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa, thank you for your interest and support of USLAW. Thank you for taking the time to review the Membership Directory. It is a wonderful resource you can use throughout the year. Whether in a single, national or international jurisdiction, USLAW is here for you. C.

The Start of Something Better. Mega-firms...big, impersonal bastions of legal tradition, encumbered by bureaucracy and often slow to react. The need for an alternative was obvious. A vision of a network of smaller, regionally based, independent firms with the capability to respond quickly, efficiently and economically to client needs from Atlantic City to Pacific Grove was born. In its infancy, it was little more than a possibility, discussed around a small table and dreamed about by a handful of visionaries. But the idea proved too good to leave on the drawing board. Instead, with the support of some of the country's brightest legal minds, USLAW NETWORK became a reality. Fast-forward to today. The commitment remains the same as originally envisioned. To provide the highest quality legal representation and seamless cross-jurisdictional service to major corporations, insurance carriers, and to both large and small businesses alike, through a network of professional, innovative law firms dedicated to their client's legal success. Now as a network with more than 6,000 attorneys from nearly 100 defense-based law firms, spanning the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa, USLAW NETWORK remains a responsive, agile legal alternative to the mega-firms. Homefield Advantage. USLAW NETWORK offers what it calls The Homefield Advantage which comes from knowing and understanding the venue in a way that allows a competitive advantage – a truism in both sports and business. Jurisdictional awareness is a key ingredient to successfully operating throughout the United States and abroad. Knowing the local rules, the judge, and the local business and legal environment provides our firms’ clients this advantage. The strength and power of an international presence combined with the understanding of a respected local firm makes for a winning line-up. A Legal Network for Purchasers of Legal Services. USLAW NETWORK firms go way beyond providing quality legal services to their clients. Unlike other legal networks, USLAW is organized around client expectations, not around the member law firms. Clients receive ongoing educational opportunities, online resources including webinars, jurisdictional updates, and resource libraries. We also provide a semi-annual USLAW Magazine, USLAW DigiKnow, which features insights into today’s trending legal topics, compendiums of law, as well as annual membership and practice group directories. To ensure our goals are the same as the clients our member firms serve, our 45-member Client Leadership Council is directly involved in the development of our programs and services. This communication pipeline is vital to our success and allows us to better monitor and meet client needs and expectations. USLAW Abroad. Just as legal issues seldom follow state borders, they often extend beyond U.S. boundaries as well. In 2007, USLAW established a relationship with the Trans-European Law Firms Alliance (TELFA), a network of 25 independent law firms representing more than 700 lawyers through Europe. Subsequently, in 2010 we entered a similar affiliation with the ALN (formerly the Africa Legal Network) to further our service and reach. Additionally, USLAW member firms are located throughout Canada, Latin America, and Asia. How USLAW NETWORK Membership is Determined. Firms are admitted to the Network by invitation only and only after they are fully vetted through a rigorous review process. Many firms have been reviewed over the years, but only a small percentage were eventually invited to join. The search for quality member firms is a continuous and ongoing effort. Firms admitted must possess broad commercial legal capabilities and have substantial litigation and trial experience. In addition, USLAW NETWORK members must subscribe to a high level of service standards and are continuously evaluated to ensure these standards of quality and expertise are met. USLAW in Review. • All vetted firms with demonstrated, robust practices and specialties • Efficient use of legal budgets, providing maximum return on legal services investments • Seamless, cross-jurisdictional service • Responsive and flexible • Multitude of educational opportunities and online resources • Team approach to legal services The USLAW Success Story. The reality of our success is simple: we succeed because our member firms' clients succeed. Our member firms provide highquality legal results through the efficient use of legal budgets. We provide cross-jurisdictional services eliminating the time and expense of securing adequate representation in different regions. We provide trusted and experienced specialists quickly. When a difficult legal matter emerges – whether it’s in a single jurisdiction, nationwide or internationally – USLAW is there. Success. For more information, please contact Roger M.

In 2007, USLAW established a mutual relationship with TELFA, the TransEuropean Law Firms Alliance, a network of 25 independent law firms in Europe representing more than 700 lawyers. TELFA was established in 1990 and has its central administration in Brussels, the heart of Europe. The members meet regularly to discuss issues of major importance to their clients. The TELFA model is based on the recognition that smaller practices with low overheads, high flexibility and local expertise are more suited on a continent composed of a majority of smaller markets. Its member firms respond effectively to local situations and cultures without the inefficiencies in the large international law firm model. TELFA has built an impressive reputation which attracts high-caliber firms. Many of its current members are firms which are quoted in Chambers Global Guide, Chambers UK, A Client’s Guide to the Legal Profession as well as The Legal 500 recommended law firms and lawyers worldwide directory, Legal 500 EMEA and Martindale Hubbell. Each member has built an outstanding reputation in its own jurisdiction as a leading commercial law firm, sharing an international focus to its practice. Membership is systematically reviewed for quality through members' and clients' feedback and apart from simply being good practitioners, members are also expected to demonstrate their commitment to the alliance. USLAW's affiliation with TELFA offers USLAW member firms and their clients access to top-quality, qualified counsel in Europe. TELFA offers USLAW clients: Finland TELF A EUR O PE Norway Sweden . . . . . .. . . . . . • Pan-European coverage; Estonia • Service unaffected by costly bureaucracy; Latvia Denmark Ireland . Lithuania Netherlands England • Direct, cost-effective access to leading lawyers in different markets; Poland • Partner-led personal service; Germany Belgium Luxembourg France Czech Rep.

Malta These advantages are built on the member firms' commitment to excellence. Firms subscribe to formal quality, training and IT standards. As a result, TELFA is much more than a mere referrals clearing house. It co-ordinates and facilitates clients' needs for advice in unfamiliar markets with the comfort that their local partner is confident in the advice they will receive from members across Europe. 68 AT V I E N N A PHH Prochaska Havranek Rechtsanwälte GmbH Franz-Josefs-Kai 1 Vienna 1010 Austria (+43 1) 714 24 40 • Fax: (+43 1) 714 24 40 - 6 Web: www.phh.at Areas of Practice Arbitration Banking and Finance Civil Rights Commercial and Business Contracts Construction Law Corporate/ Transactional/M&A Dispute Resolution Employee & Labor Law Energy/Oil & Gas Environmental & Toxic Family Law Franchise Gaming Law Governmental Relations Healthcare Management Information Technology Insolvency and Corporate Restructuring Insurance Intellectual Property International/ International Trade Litigation Media & Communications Non-Profit Organizations Private Equity Product Liability Public Finance Public & Administrative Law Real Estate Telecommunications Transportation Primary Contact Rainer M.

Bihary, Balassa & Partners Attorneys at Law provide legal services for a wide range of Hungarian and foreign clients, mainly multinational corporations, Hungarian and foreign banks and financial institutions, however, our clientele also includes medium-sized and small companies. The members of our law firm have wide experience concerning all legal aspects of project implementation by Hungarian and foreign investors – advising on legal issues emerging from the first steps of entering the Hungarian market, through the investment period to the actual operation of the project. Our law firm has largely contributed to the implementation of several successful large-scale industrial investments, office centers, hotels and shopping centers in Hungary. Our clients rely on us concerning matters of company law, real estate law, competition law, labour law, and other legal issues arising from their business operation in Hungary and also turn to us in connection with their lawsuits. We frequently provide assistance for our clients regarding cases before international arbitration courts, and through our international contacts, in representing them at foreign courts of law. Furthermore, as a rarity in the Hungarian market, our law firm provides high quality service in the fields of media law, telecommunications and Internet law and, in addition to these, we also offer media counselling services. As a result of the EU accession, our law firm is getting increasingly engaged in the highly important field of European law and therefore several members of our law firm have been broadening their knowledge by attending postgraduate courses in EU law. Our aim is to provide broad based, business-oriented and professional legal service for our Hungarian and foreign clients by keeping up with the latest developments in business with continuous training. Regarding cases requiring specialist knowledge of tax law, finance, accounting or auditing, we closely co-operate with a team of acknowledged experts. As a result, we can provide complex legal and business consulting services to our clients. Besides serving our clients in Hungarian and English, which latter has become indispensable in today's business environment, we regard it as self-evident to communicate with our German-speaking clients in their mother tongue.

Consequently, one can find all services under one roof with one sole point of contact, rather than having different providers for different services. EMD is also, at times, requested by other firms to provide advice and assistance both in Malta and overseas. Partners and staff are members of the Malta Chamber of Advocates, the Institute of Financial Services Practitioners and the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), amongst others.
