Lawyers

"Clients whose activities take them abroad do not have to pause in relation to legal needs as the firm is able to extend with its clients"
Mike Tuchman, Levenveld Pearlstein, Chicago, Illinois, USA

"MSI membership has helped us to serve our international clients and gain many new referrals. We have also been more than pleased with the quality of service received from MSI members."
Marcela Trujillo, Managing Partner, Rubio Villegas y Asociados, Mexico

"Our contacts within other member firms around the world help us to compete alongside the big law and accounting firms for contracts for which international expertise is required by the client."
Evgeny Titkov, United Consultants FDP, Moscow, Russia

"MSI's Latin American membership has proved an excellent tool for allowing us to better serve our clients with advice on the business climate in Latin America. As this group continues to grow I am confident that our firm and many others will benefit enormously from these relationships."
Carlos Concepcion, Partner, Concepcion Sexton & Martinez, Miami, Florida, USA

"The decision to join MSI was simple - we wanted to be part of an association that values the independence of its member firms, and one that is also a successful, commercially driven global organisation. We believe our firm will be able to provide the clients of other member firms with sound, reliable advice on all legal matters related to Dutch law. The MSI concept is extremely appealing to us."
Mirjam Bergmeijer, Kaiser Van As Advocaten, Utrecht, Netherlands

"Having only one office imposes perceived limitations on the types of cases we can handle. As a member of MSI, we can demonstrate to clients who have business in other locations that we can compete with the larger players. In summary, the ability to refer work to other members enables us to better serve our clients."
Tim Perkins, Principal, Underwood Perkins & Ralston, Dallas, USA

Accountants

"We go to great lengths to create awareness of our capabilities due to our membership of MSI. As a result, our clients are confident in our ability to source and provide affordable, appropriate, international expertise within an acceptable response time."
Alan Keet, Directors, Nolands, South Africa

"One of the most important aspects of MSI membership is the resource base it provides.  The fact that you can pick up the phone and call arount the US and around the globe to get a quetsion answered is a tremendous benefit.  For those of us who used to be part of international firms, this one factor really makes me feel as connected as ever."
Glenn Wallmark, Lucas Horsfall Murphy & Pindroh, Los Angeles, CA, USA

"MSI membership allows our firm to market itself under the MSI umbrella brand along with the other Australian members. This is enabling us to punch above our weight in the accountancy marketplace."
Jim Smith, Partner, MSI Ragg Weir, Australia

"I was referred to a SA resident who is also a USA citizen. She has to file a US tax return for 2005.The matter is complex because, notwithstanding the SA/USA Double Tax Agreement, the US will tax her on worldwide income. I received excellent and speedy advice from Randy Netek, Middelton Burns & Davis PC, Dallas ,Texas. Without his advice the submission would have been very problematic."
Beverley Penny, RAiN, Johannesburg, South Africa

"In every one of our proposals we highlight the fact we are active members of MSI. Although none of these new clients necessarily has an immediate need for the valuable capabilities of the association, every one of them remarked on the potential of this connection and the fact that our firm has significant legal and accounting resources as a result. This clearly makes us more valuable to our clients."
Tim O'Toole, Vestal & Wiler, Orlando, USA

"Through MSI our clients have access to associate member firms in 100 countries. Knowledgeable local professionals share the same approach as us to serving clients requiring advice on legal issues, taxation, accounting and auditing."
Konrad Walter, WKS GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany

"Being part of a renowned international association such as MSI demonstrates the standing and capability of our firm. Joining MSI has definitely raised our firm's profile, and our clients are also better served by being able to quickly call upon the services offered by a global association of high quality law and accounting firms."
In-Young Lee, Partner, Easi Accounting Corporation

"We have had very good working relations with colleagues from all over the world, who have been very helpful, not only in information sharing, but also in enabling the expansion of our business."
