Benefits Of Membership

Member firms can benefit from CH International in a number of ways:

By gaining access to local expertise and a friendly reception for clients with queries about international trade, or those wishing to set up business in a member's country.
Removing the risk of a client switching to one of the large international practices by being part of an established organisation.
New members will automatically enter a vibrant organisation rather than struggling to set up their own links or joining one of the loose groupings which have many members in one country with no real controls.
Attain additional turnover by referrals from practices in other member countries.
Enhance the business with staff training: there is a secondment or "staff swap" opportunity for co-operative members.

Unlike the large International firms, CH International members are able to maintain close contacts across the group by having one or two members in each country rather than many competing firms - and by staying in touch to build relationships with business partners overseas.

Additionally, clients with International interests do not have to spend time trying to find a reliable overseas advisor, which may mean considering one of the larger firms. They can feel assured that they are being referred to a quality firm who can share expertise with their CHI advisor in their home country, therefore reducing the risks involved when dealing with cross-border business.

“Since joining CHI we have realised a number of benefits for our firm and our clients. Not least of all the enjoyment of being part of a close network of friendly people who are always on hand to assist with enquiries - whether they relate to quick regulatory questions or to help clients with their overseas affairs.”
