Lester Aldridge has been a proud member of MSI Global Alliance since 2002. MSI is one of the world’s leading international associations, comprising over 250 independent legal and accountancy firms across more than 100 countries.

September marks MSI Month, and this year’s theme is “Making September Inspiring.” The theme celebrates the value of being part of a global community and inspires emerging leaders.

Founded over 30 years ago, MSI Global Alliance is renowned for connecting legal and accounting firms worldwide. Through MSI’s extensive network, our clients benefit from fast, reliable access to global expertise, strengthening our international support.

In 2023 alone, we assisted clients in over 50 countries with a range of legal services, including international probate and estates, business acquisitions, family law, and specialised services in shipping, logistics, yachts and superyachts. Our partners regularly meet with MSI members around the globe, enabling us to assist our clients in achieving their personal or commercial goals.

MSI understands that a broad scope of professional advice is often required when conducting business internationally. That’s why it unites member firms with extensive knowledge and experience across various disciplines. This offers clients the best of both worlds: local expertise and global reach.

Each jurisdiction is represented by a carefully selected full-service legal and accounting member firm. These firms collaborate to deliver integrated, multidisciplinary services, helping clients navigate legal and regulatory obligations while pursuing their objectives.
