With Jacobson Burton Kelley PLLC as partner we are now in the position to serve our clients with legal opinion and advice directly from Washington, the centre of U.S. trade policy making. We are delighted that we were able to team-up with a law firm with excellent reputation and a very experienced trade law practice having a remarkable network within relevant US authorities and we are looking forward to this fruitful cooperation."

We are pleased to expand our network by formalizing our collaboration with MME. We have been impressed with the quality of their work and team members, and this will allow us to better serve our clients who have operations in and work with companies based in Switzerland and the surrounding countries."
