From Paris with connections: our global network just got a whole lot bigger
Jakub Kotan, our Managing Director, recently had the pleasure of representing Garner & Hancock at the 22nd Annual Congress of the Association of European Attorneys (AEA) in Paris. The event brought together around 400 lawyers from every corner of the globe.
The AEA isn’t just any network. With more than 9,000 legal professionals across 159 countries, it’s one of the most influential international legal communities out there. Over two busy days, Jakub met lawyers from Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania – exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, and building relationships that will make a real difference for our clients.
As cross‑border matters become increasingly complex, from international estates and trusts to disputes requiring overseas co‑counsel, having trusted contacts around the world is invaluable. Jakub returned with a significantly expanded network of legal experts ready to collaborate when our clients need it most.
At Garner & Hancock, our international reach isn’t just a talking point. It’s something we actively build, nurture, and invest in. Jakub’s time in Paris has strengthened the network behind our cross‑border services. It means our clients now have even more direct access to trusted lawyers in key jurisdictions around the world. Whether it’s an overseas estate, an international trust, a family matter spanning multiple countries, or a dispute that needs coordinated advice, we can connect clients with the right expertise. They benefit from a global support system built on real relationships, not just directories. It’s all part of our commitment to delivering seamless, joined‑up legal solutions wherever life takes you.
