To tackle the growing complexity of European regulation and compliance issues, top law firms are realizing that a strong legal team, while vital, is no longer sufficient in isolation. Firms such as Jones Day, Stephenson Harwood, and August Debouzy, are transitioning towards a multidisciplinary approach to their tackling of these issues. These firms have started to develop teams which, in addition to skilled legal practitioners, also include experts from diverse backgrounds such as government, policy, and industry.
This emerging trend underlines the evolving role of law firms and the growing demand for multidimensional expertise in navigating the complex regulatory landscape of present-day Europe.
