As business is increasingly conducted and regulated internationally, PLC has teamed up with a number of leading law firms around the globe, to make their clients briefings available to all PLC subscribers and registered users. You will find these publications returned in searches on our sites. As many of these briefings are focussed on major developments, you can also receive them in an e-mail feed, organised by region, to enable you to keep abreast of major developments in your region as they happen.
The firms we work with include the global elite, such as Clifford Chance, Skadden Arps, Simpson Thacher, Herbert Smith and Hogan Lovells, as well as national champions in countries as far afield as De Brauw, Blackstone Westbroek in the Netherlands, Uria Menendez in Spain, King & Wood in China, J Sagar in India and Nishimura & Asahi in Japan.
We have introduced a series of IT developments which mean that all PLC subscribers can search for LFPs using keywords on the main PLC site. LFPs now appear as regular articles alongside other PLC resources such as Practice notes, Legal updates etc.
If you click on a Law Firm Publication, you will be taken to a page where you will be able to:
Every Friday, we send an email listing all the Law Firm Publications added to the site during the previous week. Publications are divided according to jurisdiction.
If you'd like to receive the email, go to My Account - E-mail Updates, scroll down to PLC Law Firm Publications Update, tick the weekly box and select Save e-mail preferences.

If you would like the opportunity to showcase your firms expertise, and contribute to this initiative, please contact Luke Sillett at luke.sillett@practicallaw.com
At present all articles are chosen and uploaded by our Law Firm Publications Co-ordinator who is responsible for the content that we include. Predominantly, we're looking for up to date information on the latest legal developments in the international market.
As we have our own experienced editors for our UK and US services, at present, we only publish articles and features relating to developments outside the UK and the US. We may also be unable to publish certain articles dealing with the adoption of EU Directives or Regulations. Conversely, we are very interested in articles examining the implementation of EU Directives in jurisdictions other than the UK).
If you have any questions in relation to the type of content we're looking for, please contact Luke Sillett, as above.
