International

Becker Glynn has maintained a decidedly international orientation from its founding. More than the typical proportion of our clientele are non-U.S. corporations and individuals, and a majority of our work involves transactions or activities which cross national boundaries. Every other aspect of our practice intersects, to a greater or lesser degree, with our international work.
