Assistance in finding the right
Primerus lawyer to meet your needs
Clients may access
primerus.com or
call Primerus any time for personal
help finding a lawyer. If Primerus does
not have a Primerus law firm in the
particular city and expertise needed,
they will seek a recommendation from a
Primerus member.
Reinier Russell, managing partner of
Primerus member firm Russell Advocaten
in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, said
he hopes the PCRI will help spread the
message that Primerus attorneys are
always available to clients.
"It is always important to have
`friends,'" Russell said. "We hope that
the `friends' of Primerus and our future
clients (get to) know that the
Primerus lawyers around the world
are globally approachable and
available for legal advice for their
day-to-day business operations
and/or specialized legal services."
Buchanan said the PCRI
represents three years of work
responding to many client requests to
become part of Primerus.
"This concept is unique to Primerus.
No one else is offering this to clients,"
Buchanan said. "There are a number
of things clients need and law firms are
not providing them. We recognized the
disconnect in the market and we decided
to see if Primerus, which is not a law firm,
could fill that gap. That is why we created
the PCRI, and we are excited to see where
it leads us in the future."
