Enhanced Reach and Service Capabilities The ELA offers us in Kentucky, as well as firms across the country and internationally, the ability to enhance all of our client services through our network of trusted colleagues across the globe. – Bryan H. Beauman, Sturgill, Turner, Barker & Moloney, United States Timely Responses with Local Insights at Local Rates The key is creating relationships – to be able to say to clients, no matter the time of day, “I know someone in that area who will give their best at a reasonable price because they know me and my firm, and we are a part of the same client service- driven mission.” – Ajay Raghavan, Trilegal, India Trusted Colleagues Who Share Your Service Values It’s comforting for clients to know that they can come to Deacons with questions involving multiple countries because the firm has access to the ELA capabilities and can quickly provide critical information. The level of service and the deep knowledge of ELA members means that Deacons can refer business to members with confidence. – Cynthia Chung, Deacons, Hong Kong

Simply knowing what a statute says is not enough; for a company to fully understand and, ultimately, enforce its meaning, the law must be decoded and put through a filter of cultural context by trained professionals. - ELA CEO and Founder Stephen J.
