The world is getting smaller but the work is getting bigger. As borders blur and clients globalise, cross-border success is not won on expertise alone; it is built on the right plays, partners, and presence. This session distils strategies for growing a cross-border practice: where the real opportunities are and how to build networks. Our panel of seasoned practitioners will cover practical tips that turn first instructions into long-term relationships. Open doors, land mandates, and build long-lasting relationships in multiple jurisdictions.
