Contribution featured on page 32 of MD Communications’ global legal market report

Paul Marmor, Partner and Head of Litigation and International at Sherrards Solicitors, and Co-Chair of the IBA Law Firm Management Committee, is featured in Navigating Global Growth, the latest report published by MD Communications.

MD Communications is a specialist international reputation, communications, and strategic advisory consultancy working extensively with the legal sector. Its Navigating Global Growth report brings together insights from independent law firms across multiple jurisdictions, examining how they are developing international capability, responding to global opportunities, and strengthening cross-border networks.

The publication highlights a shift across the independent legal market, showing that global success does not rely solely on large-scale mergers or establishing numerous overseas offices. Instead, it focuses on sustained international engagement, long-term relationship building, and strategic investment of time and expertise.

Paul’s contribution sits within the “Lessons Learned” section of the report and appears on page 32. Below is an extract from his commentary:

“Competing internationally requires firms to offer a more hands-on and value-driven service, supported by strong international connectivity through alliances, foreign desks, and relationships developed via global associations like the IBA. Placing international strategy at the centre of how firms attract and retain talent is vital, ensuring lawyers bring a world-facing outlook to their work.”

His comments form part of a broader discussion exploring the practical, relationship-led approach many independent firms are adopting to strengthen their global presence and collaborate more effectively across borders.
