LOCAL PARTNER NETWORK
35+ jurisdictions through vetted local counsel

Rankings refer to local partner firms in specific jurisdictions, not to VLO Law Firm as a whole.

In jurisdictions where VLO does not maintain a desk, we work through vetted local counsel — typically firms ranked in Chambers, Legal 500, or IFLR1000 in the relevant practice area. Selection is based on practice-specific reputation, conflict-of-interest clearance, and prior working relationships with VLO partners.
