TELFA
n 2006, USLAW NETWORK established a strategic alliance with TELFA—the Trans-European Law Firm Alliance—creating a lasting bridge between North America and Europe. As the partnership celebrates its 20th Anniversary in 2026, it stands as a testament to two decades of collaboration, trust, and shared commitment to delivering exceptional legal service across jurisdictions. What began as a mutual relationship has evolved into a deeply integrated alliance that continues to add meaningful value for clients and member firms alike.
TELFA is a respected network of more than 30 independent law firms across Europe, collectively representing over 1,000 lawyers. Founded in 1989, TELFA was created in response to the growing needs of businesses operating across European borders and navigating increasingly complex legal environments. Over more than three decades, TELFA has grown into one of Europe’s strongest alliances of independent law firms, distinguished by its emphasis on quality, responsiveness, and cross-jurisdictional cooperation.
The values that have guided TELFA’s development closely align with those that define USLAW NETWORK. Both organizations are built on the belief that outstanding client service is driven by relationships, local knowledge, and collaboration—not by rigid structures or one-size-fits-all solutions. This shared philosophy has been central to the success and longevity of the USLAW NETWORK–TELFA partnership.
Together, USLAW NETWORK and TELFA provide clients with seamless access to trusted, experienced legal counsel throughout North America and Europe. Clients benefit from the local insight and market knowledge of leading regional firms, combined with the reach and coordination of an international network. Whether advising on business transactions, regulatory matters, disputes, or strategic expansion, the alliance ensures that clients receive consistent, high-quality legal support wherever their business takes them.
One of TELFA’s defining strengths is its structure. As an alliance of independent firms, TELFA offers a flexible and collaborative alternative to the traditional global law firm model. Free from the internal competition and bureaucracy that can accompany large multinational firms, TELFA members are able to focus exclusively on client needs—delivering practical, timely, and business-oriented legal advice tailored to each engagement.
Clients may work directly with their local TELFA firm or seamlessly engage other TELFA member firms as their business expands into new European jurisdictions. This approach promotes transparency, continuity, and efficiency, while allowing clients to maintain trusted relationships with their primary advisers.
TELFA’s vision is grounded in shared values rather than uniformity. Its member firms are united by a commitment to long-term relationships, mutual trust, and client-first service. Rather than simply providing legal solutions, TELFA lawyers act as trusted advisers who invest the time to understand their clients’ businesses, industries, and objectives.
That same spirit of connection extends beyond client relationships and into the collaboration among TELFA lawyers themselves. Members work closely together on multi-jurisdictional matters and develop personal relationships that enhance communication and efficiency. It is common for a TELFA lawyer to confidently tell a client, “You should speak with my colleague in Berlin,” knowing that the introduction is backed by firsthand trust and experience.
As the USLAW NETWORK–TELFA partnership enters its third decade in 2026, it remains a model of how independent firms can work together to deliver local excellence with global reach. The result is a cohesive, relationship-driven alliance that continues to provide USLAW NETWORK clients with seamless access to proven legal expertise throughout Europe and beyond—today and for years to come.
