Seit Jahren pflegt Gleiss Lutz enge Beziehungen zu verbundenen oder befreundeten Kanzleien im Ausland. Herbert Smith (Großbritannien), Stibbe (Belgien, Niederlande) sowie Cravath, Simpson Thacher und Paul Weiss (alle USA) gehören sämtlich zu den Spitzensozietäten ihrer Länder. Mit diesen Kanzleien unterhalten wir ständige Austauschprogramme für Juristen. Durch Arbeitsaufenthalte im Ausland erhöhen Sie Ihre Fachkompetenz und knüpfen ein persönliches Kontaktnetz. Unabhängig von solchen Auslandsaufenthalten laden wir unsere Mitarbeiter regelmäßig zu Veranstaltungen des "Alliance Academy"-Programms ein: an attraktiven in- und ausländischen Tagungsorten nehmen unsere Nachwuchsjuristen zusammen mit Kolleginnen und Kollegen von Herbert Smith und Stibbe an mehrtägigen Schulungsveranstaltungen zu aktuellen internationalen Rechtsthemen teil.
