WWL Thought Leaders: Corporate Immigration brings together the world`s best practitioners in the field. Through interviews with practitioners themselves, WWL`s Thought Leaders Guide aims to shed light on what makes these lawyers the pinnacle of corporate immigration. In WWL`s own words, “[These leaders] deserve special mention, not only for their expertise and experience in some of the world`s largest and most forward-thinking legal mandates, but also for their ability to innovate, inspire and work beyond to meet the needs of their clients.” Wolfsdorf, Lustgarten and Friedman were all awarded and included in this year`s edition. LW: Knowledge sharing helps you deepen relationships with your customers. The importance of this issue cannot be overemphasized. It also increases your visibility within the company and helps you build that important internal network. Being a thought leader gives you the opportunity to network, collaborate, and develop a broad, international perspective. There are many interesting projects you can get involved in, and if you are passionate, you can become a true expert. For more information on thought leadership at Clifford Chance, www.cliffordchance.com Kate Gibbons (KG): For us, that means thinking and being at the forefront of issues that matter to our clients, our broader stakeholders and sometimes even the general public. This may involve working with political leaders at the World Economic Forum or influencing market opinion on a particular area of law or policy.
Publications are important, but it`s not just about written words. Thought leadership encompasses all opinion-forming interactions, including seminars, roundtables and the resources we offer on our website. It`s about networking, by whatever means, to share essential ideas. Lynette Williams (LW): Often it`s the combination of our ideas from around the world that makes us thought leaders. All law firms use their knowledge to help their clients. But we distinguish ourselves as a global organization by being able to gather the best ideas from lawyers who are at the forefront of international issues in local markets. This is a real differentiator for us. KG: We take a very holistic approach to thought leadership.
For each topic, we ask ourselves: “What is the international perspective?” We enjoy coming together and working together across borders. To be true thought leaders, we need to listen to different voices in each of our offices. We also work with think tanks, consulting firms and academic institutions around the world. Caroline Firstbrook is Clifford Chance`s Global Chief Operating Officer with a background in strategy consulting and entrepreneurship. It reflects the evolving operational landscape of the legal industry. KG: Interaction is key. We not only inform our clients of our expertise, but we also facilitate and facilitate discussions. Thought leadership helps us identify opportunities for our clients and find ways to pursue them together.
