The firm has developed a network of renowned experts/consultants (legal and non-legal – who regularly provide ad hoc support to the legal team) in its practice areas but also in the diplomacy, strategic communications, investigation, and intelligence sectors.

The partners are founders of: Ebro Global (www.ebroglobal.com), a not for profit multi-disciplinary consultancy that provides strategic advice to governments, international organisations and corporates, and Rigel (www.rigelcorporation.com), a corporate advisory that provides litigation support (investigations, intelligence, PR, lobbying, private diplomacy) to McCue Jury & Partners.

The firm’s internal litigation support department (fluctuating between 10-20 non lawyer personnel) provides the legal team with an edge on other firms and a world leading capability.  It also provides the law firm with a broader vision, a holistic approach, and a diverse capability for the benefit of its clients.
