PURPOSE

The purpose of the IOCC PG, Primerus International Outside Corporate Counsel Practice Groupis three-fold:

(1) to help Practice Group members develop quality client business;

(2) to get to know each other and encourage cross-border referrals between Practice Group members; and

(3) building on (1) and (2) to educate and inform IOCC PG members (and their clients).

We seek to bring together those Primerus lawyers who are more intimately engaged in the everyday (international) legal work as the trusted day-today partner, and sometimes almost external general counsel, of their clients.

Not only would we like to reach out to those Primerus members who are already well versed in international affairs, but also to those firms with little international experience who wish to learn more about how they can comfortably refer their clients to other Primerus firms for the international activity of their clients.
