Our affiliation with TELFA offers USLAW member firms and their clients access to top-quality, qualified counsel in Europe. TELFA offers USLAW clients:
- Pan-European coverage;

TELFA member firms subscribe to formal quality, training and IT standards. As a result, TELFA does much more than enable referrals. Instead, it coordinates and facilitates their clients’ needs for counsel in unfamiliar markets while offering the assurance and peace of mind that the quality of advice and service they will receive is consistent across TELFA firms.
