Countries Targeted by Trump’s Tariffs May Strike Back at U.S. Services
Of course the best lawyers are not exclusive to the USA, I would say the best lawyers are in Japan, but regardless the vast majority of major financial produts and techniques, such as modern securitization, CDOs, CDS, CLOs, ABS, MBS were INVENTED in the USA. So the knowledge flowed from the US to the UK and then other law firms. JP Morgan invented the Credit Default Swap in 1994. The vast majority of cutting edge financial techniques and capital markets products were invented in the US and the greatest source of knowledge for all of them is in New York, not London or Tokyo or Frankfurt. Besides, if you have an investment fund whose target investors are in the US you simply HAVE to use a US law firm. There is no way around it. Not because you could not use a UK law firm with a US office, but because the best funds law firms are in New York, ie US firms. Nobody ever, EVER, chose a lawyer because of "compliance issues", lawyers are chosen based on reputation and expertise. Of course every now and then you can see a small law firm or accountancy firm used on a big deal, mostly because of personal relationships. If you think Deutsche Bank are now going to start using non US firms for their investment funds you really live in La La world. -

Australian Teen Dies in Koh Samui Motorbike Collision
@qwab32made a perfectly reasonable comment about how dangerous the roads on Samui are, which anyone who lives there, or has driven there knows; so please explain how that makes him a bad driver, and makes his comment unhelpful. -
