When Colleen Taylor started 21 years
ago as claims administrator in the legal
department of Werner Ladder Company
in Greenville, Pennsylvania, the company
already had an established relationship
with some Primerus firms in the United
States.
Since then, Taylor's trust in Primerus
firms has only grown. Now, as her
company expands manufacturing and
sales around the world, she anticipates
needing more quality legal representation
in other countries.
Taylor knows Primerus will help guide
her way.
"Before we were acquainted with
Primerus, when we had a claim in an
area where we didn't already have legal
representation, we were kind of taking a
shot in the dark. We would pretty much
go to the yellow pages and put our trust
in strangers," Taylor said. "Now Primerus
does all the work for us by vetting law
firms. We know they adhere to the Six
Pillars and that we can trust them. The
legwork is already done for us, and we
can just focus on the case. It's been a
tremendous tool for us."
Taylor will be among the Primerus
clients attending the 2015 Primerus
Global Conference October 1-4 in
Amsterdam, Netherlands. The event is
historic for Primerus, as it marks the
first time the society's premier annual
event will be held outside of the United
States. Also for the first time, clients
such as Taylor are invited to attend the
Global Conference, along with Primerus
members. On October 1, Primerus will
host a special client seminar called
the "Primerus Legal Risk Management
Seminar: A Comparative Analysis by
World Region."
"We have worked with many Primerus
firms, and we will continue to," Taylor
said. "That's why I am so excited about
attending the Global Conference in
Amsterdam as our company expands
globally. I am hoping to make new
contacts, meet more nice people and
make some more friends."
That's exactly the idea, according to
Primerus President and Founder John
C. Buchanan. "Our clients want to know
they can find a good lawyer when they
need one, where they need one. As more
and more companies do business around
the world, it's important for them to have
connections with quality lawyers around
the world," Buchanan said. "Primerus
is the solution. We have attorneys in
45 countries around the world, and we
provide wonderful opportunities such
as the Global Conference, the Primerus
