International capabilities

LEX is a premium full-service law firm servicing the Icelandic legal market. International co-operation is though a very important aspect in LEX’s operation. LEX has a premium position in the Icelandic M&A market as evident by it’s involvement in number of domestic and international transactions over the years. In the international transactions LEX has been servicing international clients in close co-operation with other international law firms.

Other noteworthy sectors where LEX has a strong foothold are the IP sector (including but not limited to Trademark, Patent, Pharmaceutical, IT and GDPR), Capital Markets, Public Procurement, Banking and Finance. The ESG sector is also becoming ever more present in LEX’s operation as it touches upon most fields of law and in international transactions of any kind no transaction is completed without some sort of an ESG review.

A part of LEX’s international competence is the workforce at LEX. Many of its lawyers have both international education, from the US, Asia and Europe and some of them also have international work experience. This gives LEX’s clients a unique proposition as LEX’s lawyers not only have the know-how from different parts of the world but are also familiar with the culture in many places of the world which is as important as the legal know-how.

LEX is in a premium position with regard to global reach. LEX is a member of World Services Group and Energy Law Group, both of which are premium legal networks.

LEX also serves most of the world’s largest independent law firms across the world and many of recent cross-border M&A transactions that LEX has advised on in recent years originate from those law firms including but not limited with the magic circle firms.
