“IR Global” was pleased to announce this time last year that Herrington Carmichael had been invited to join the Group and as a result of the firm’s strong reputation and ability to deliver high quality advice and service, successfully secured “Exclusive Member” status within England (UK) as the recommended referral partner in the ‘Real Estate’ and the ‘Banking & Finance’ sectors.
Mark Izquierdo is the Member for the Real Estate sector
Alex Canham is the Member for the Banking & Finance sector
Mark and Alex have both played active roles in the Group from the outset and certainly have made an impressive impact in their first 12 months since joining. They both attended the two main Member Events held this past year: the ‘On-the-Road’ event in May 2015 (held in Shanghai) and the ‘Annual Conference’ in September (held in London). Mark also travelled to Berlin in June 2015 for the Real Estate Group meeting. Mark and Alex are looking forward to attending the forthcoming ‘On-the-Road’ event in San Francisco, to strengthening relationships and to forging what they very much hope will be mutually beneficial links with new members attending ‘San Fran 16’.

Herrington Carmichael LLP are demonstrating through their Membership and participation, the benefit and value of the Group as a focused platform linking by relationships (and not merely as a database resource) high calibre legal and financial professionals across the World. Due to such participation, the firm has been able to reach and service potential new clients. Also, of particular importance, the firm has benefitted from the confidence required when making referrals out, when advice and support is required ‘overseas’ by Herrington Carmichael’s existing clients.
