EP264 What is International Jurists – With Federico Vasoli and Domenic Pini

International Jurists Connects Lawyers Across the Globe for the Benefit of their Clients. Federico Vasoli of Dmtvglobal.com and Domenic Pini of PiniFranco.com joined Mac Pierre-Louis to discuss its work.

In today’s increasingly interconnected world, the ability to collaborate with legal professionals across borders is more important than ever. That’s where organizations like International Jurists come in.

International Jurists is an alliance of law firms from around the world, founded in the 1980s. As explained by members Federico Vasoli and Domenic Pini, the group’s mission is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and referrals among its members.

Rather than just a transactional network, International Jurists aims to foster deeper relationships and understanding between lawyers in different jurisdictions. This allows them to better serve clients with cross-border needs, as well as stay informed on global legal and business trends.

“It’s not simply a question of obtaining work,” said Pini. “It’s an ability to understand and have a reference point in another jurisdiction if you need it.”

The group’s annual conferences provide a forum for discussing common challenges, from sanctions compliance to the impact of political events on business. This exchange of insights helps member firms improve their own practices.

While International Jurists started as a primarily European network, it is now looking to expand, particularly into the United States, Southeast Asia, and South America. The goal is to connect small and medium-sized firms that can benefit from this global knowledge sharing.

As the world becomes more interconnected, yet also more politically divided, organizations like International Jurists play a vital role in keeping the legal community united across borders. By fostering collaboration and mutual understanding, they help lawyers better serve their clients in an increasingly complex global landscape.
