How it works

One network, two sides: clients and firms.

WHR Alliance connects private individuals and businesses to vetted law firms around the world — and gives those firms a practical framework to work globally, including financial support for key cross-border work.

On one side, people and companies need the right lawyer in the right country, at the right price. On the other, independent firms want more good cross-border clients without turning into a giant bureaucracy.

WHRAlliance sits in the middle. We listen to the client’s situation and budget, then match them with a firm in the network that actually fits by practice area, jurisdiction, language and fee level.

For clients

How we match you with the right law firm.

Whether you’re a private individual or a business, the process is built to be simple, fast and transparent — including fees and expectations.

You tell us your situation.

You share the basics of your matter: country, type of issue (for example: contract, dispute, immigration, corporate setup), your rough budget and any timing constraints.

We shortlist suitable firms worldwide.

We look across the alliance to identify firms that actually fit: jurisdiction, experience, language, and realistic fee levels. If we can’t serve you properly, we’ll tell you that too.

You see options and fee structures.

We present one or more recommended firms and explain the typical fee models they use (fixed fees, hourly rates, staged retainers, etc.), aligned with the budget range you’ve given us.

You choose who to instruct.

You decide whether to move forward, and with which firm. The engagement letter and legal advice are directly between you and the law firm; WHR Alliance does not give legal advice itself.

Ongoing coordination if needed.

For more complex cross-border matters, we help coordinate between multiple firms so you don’t have to project-manage different time zones and jurisdictions on your own.

How “budget-aware” matching works

We ask for a realistic budget range up front. That doesn’t mean we always find the cheapest option — it means we match you with firms that can work properly within what you can afford.

If your budget and your legal need simply don’t match, we’ll be honest about that instead of pushing you into a bad engagement.

For law firms

How WHR Alliance helps you work worldwide.

For independent firms, WHRAlliance is a channel for new cross-border clients and collaboration — plus practical support, including travel and accommodation assistance for key mandates.

Global visibility

Your firm is positioned as a trusted option for inbound work in your jurisdiction and key practice areas, not just another name on a long list.

Qualified introductions

We route enquiries from individuals and businesses that match your profile, budget tiers and focus, so you spend less time filtering and more time on real files.

Cross-border co-counsel

You collaborate with other alliance firms on multi-country deals and disputes, while staying in control of your own pricing and team.

Support for going on-site

When a matter requires you to travel to another country on behalf of alliance clients, we can help with a dedicated support budget.

Our Partners

We collaborate with distinguished hotels and professional security providers to ensure that our clients and partner lawyers receive exceptional VIP service worldwide.

If your firm already handles international work — or is ready to — we can explore how WHR Alliance fits your strategy.

Travel & accommodation support (up to €10,000/month)

For selected partner firms and matters, WHR Alliance can provide financial support for travel and accommodation when you need to be physically present in another country to represent alliance clients.

Support of up to €10,000 per month, per qualifying firm.
Intended for flights, hotels or equivalent accommodation, and local transport related to alliance work.
Applies only to approved cross-border matters originating through WHRAlliance.

The goal is simple: to make it easier for strong independent firms to act for clients worldwide, without having to absorb all the cost of being on-site in another jurisdiction.

Exact terms, eligibility and documentation requirements are defined in the alliance agreement with each firm and may change over time. This is a general description, not a legal commitment on its own.
