“FromCounsel is a powerful,

time-saving tool and very popular among

the Baker McKenzie Corporate team. The

comprehensive treatment and depth of

analysis of English company law is

excellent. We see the clear advantage of

the service as being the expert team of

barristers and PSLs behind it. Leading

corporate lawyers need the best

resources available to do their jobs, and

FromCounsel is a hugely authoritative

resource for corporate lawyers on
