Salsburg in West Orange, New Jersey.
She recently completed a term as Chair

North America.
Primerus, and most recently as Chair
of the Primerus Business Law Institute
(PBLI) of North America, I have seen
countless valuable connections develop
among Primerus firms around the world.
These personal connections are the most
important way Primerus has helped my
firm, our clients and other Primerus firms.
Conference held in October 2013 in
Asheville, North Carolina, we welcomed
Primerus members from around the
world. Many international members
also attended the Primerus Business
Law Institute Symposium in June at the
Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Members
from the North America Primerus
institutes traveled to Barcelona, Spain,
last spring to attend the Primerus
International Conference sponsored by
the Primerus Europe, Middle East and
Africa Institute. It's exciting that so many
Primerus members are now travelling
internationally to meet with each other
throughout the year. There's no doubt
that it's important to all of us to build
bridges with our international partners
to find areas where both referral sources
and personal relationships can develop.
Strengthening those ties will benefit
everyone involved with Primerus.
While my firm, Mandelbaum Salsburg,
does not look across international borders
on a daily basis, we do have a number
of clients doing work in international
to know that the global connection is
there for them. In the U.S., we have had
the opportunity to partner with fellow
Primerus firms on numerous occasions,
which has been a very important aspect
of our Primerus membership. A perfect
example of this is one of my own clients,
a real estate owner with properties
throughout the U.S. With this client,
Primerus has been my go-to source for
several years. If she had an issue in
Delaware, Georgia, Texas, Arkansas the
first thing I did was call Primerus. I have
found all of the firms we have worked with
to be very helpful, and my client loves the
fact that we have the ability to assist her
anywhere with quality representation at a
reasonable rate.
Our firm considers our affiliation with
Primerus to be a long-term relationship,
one that takes time to grow and develop.
We are excited by the connections and
opportunities it has yielded thus far, and
we look forward to seeing where it goes in
the future.
