WarwickPlace Legal, LLC, is a management consultancy for law firms. We advise law firms seeking to enter or expand in foreign markets, with an emphasis on London, continental Europe and China. Robert Bata, the founder and Principal of WarwickPlace Legal, has more than thirty years' experience as a prominent international transactional lawyer and litigator. He has founded, managed and grown overseas offices and regional practices for several major U.S. law firms, and has lived in London and Central Europe for fourteen years. Uniquely familiar with the challenges of law firm market entry, growth, professional and cultural integration and profitability, we are able to provide an unvarnished assessment of whether, when, how and why a law firm should pursue global growth. We craft optimal strategies for recruitment, merger, affiliation or even best-friends relationships, and we work closely with law firm leaders in executing those strategies.
