Legal matters often extend beyond borders. To support our clients in navigating the challenges of cross-border transactions and international disputes, we are constantly developing our global legal network. Over the years, we have built up a strong network across the globe of trusted partners that we know and have worked with and who share the same ethos and approach to client care as we do.
Our Global Legal Network
Gleeson McGrath Baldwin LLP is the exclusive Irish member of LAWorld, an international association of over 60 independent law firms across more than 100 major commercial centres worldwide. Through this network, we can give you direct access to trusted legal experts in every key jurisdiction. Whether you’re expanding your business overseas, dealing with international intellectual property, or facing a cross-border litigation issue, we can coordinate seamless legal support through our LAWorld partners. Our membership ensures:
- Efficient collaboration with vetted international law firms
- Consistent client service standards across jurisdictions

- Trusted relationships built on professionalism and a shared commitment to quality – making global legal challenges more manageable.
Active Participation in the International Legal Community
As well as our LAWorld membership, our partners play leading roles within the International Bar Association (IBA), the foremost global organisation for legal professionals. Eileen O’Gorman, Chair of the IBA’s Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law Committee (2025), curates and moderates key sessions at the IBA annual conference which has close to 5,000 attendees, and at specialist events – most recently on AI.
Geraldine Clarke has been deeply involved with IBA ethics initiatives and continues to support the profession on professional standards. She is also involved in various other committees and in nominating and vetting future leaders.
These international engagements keep us at the forefront of global legal developments and ensure we bring fresh, informed perspectives to every matter.
