Aliant® is organized as a Swiss Verein. All member law firms are “members” of an organization, and not a single unitary law firm. Each local law firm retains the independence of its existence and operations. When multiple Aliant member firms represent the same client, the client must engage each firm separately.

Aliant is the collective trade name for an international legal practice comprised of independent and separately constituted law firms and law practices. Aliant is organized as a Swiss Verein (a membership association) and does not itself practice law or provide legal services. The purpose of the Verein is to help coordinate the activities of its constituent members (“Aliant entities” or “Aliant Verein members”). Legal services are provided by the members of the Verein, listed below, and their respective subsidiary and affiliated entities.

Any reference to “Aliant”, “us”, “law firm”, and/or “legal practice” shall be construed as a reference to one or more of such independent Aliant entities and Aliant Verein members, and not to the global legal practice itself. These references do not imply that the various Aliant entities and Aliant Verein members are in partnership together, nor that one Aliant entity or Aliant Verein member accepts responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of another. In accordance with the common terminology used in professional service organizations, the term “partner” or “of counsel” or “associate” is used on this website to refer to a person who is a member, partner, shareholder, of counsel, associate attorney or person of equivalent standing or authority in an individual Aliant entity.

No individual who is a member of, or partner in, any Aliant entity or any Aliant Verein member is a member of or partner in any other Aliant entity or Aliant Verein member, and neither any such individual, nor any such entity, has any authority, of any kind, to obligate or otherwise bind any other such entity in any manner whatsoever.

Each Aliant entity or Aliant Verein member provides legal services in particular jurisdictions and is subject to the laws and professional regulations of the particular country or countries in which it operates. Each Aliant entity or Aliant Verein member will continue to preserve clients’ confidentiality and legal professional privilege; provided, however, that information will be exchanged with other Aliant entities and Aliant Verein members for conflict of interest checks, management, training and administrative purposes.

The use of “Aliant” as a trade or business name or brand by all or any Aliant entities shall not imply that Aliant, the Swiss Verein, is engaged in the provision of legal or other services.
