John Stemmler Discusses Legal Networks with Memphis Daily News
John Stemmler, member at Bass, Berry & Sims PLC and managing partner of the firm’s Memphis office, is quoted regarding legal networks in the July 20 edition of the Memphis Daily News.
From the article:
Bass Berry & Sims PLC is a founding member and the Tennessee representative for Lex Mundi, a legal association of 162 member firms and 17,000 lawyers, and State Capital Group.
Bass Berry also is a member of The Southern Law Network and The Network of Trial Law Firms, a nonprofit organization of 24 independent trial firms.
Belonging to legal networks, especially international ones, offers smaller or local firms greater capacity to help with matters that cross borders.
“Being a member of such internationally recognized networks gives our firm the opportunity to provide an extremely valuable service to our clients,” said John Stemmler, managing partner of Bass Berry’s Memphis office. “Should they have work in other jurisdictions in which we are unable to assist them, we can refer them to a law firm that we know well, one that knows the local law, the customs, the mores and the politics, and is not just merely a satellite office of a mega firm.”
