Wragge & Co.

What Wragge & Co. does

World Law Group is a global network of independent law firms headquartered in Washington, D.C., operating as a privately held Delaware corporation under the legal name World Law Group, Ltd. The organization connects over 21,000 lawyers across 55+ member firms spanning 45+ countries, covering all major areas of law including corporate transactions, dispute resolution, M&A, banking & finance, energy & infrastructure, ESG, intellectual property, tax & private wealth, real estate, and labor & employment. Chambers and Partners recognizes World Law Group as one of a few 'Elite' global law firm networks.

The network provides a web-based digital platform (www.theworldlawgroup.com) that includes a Knowledge Center with news and publications, a searchable lawyer directory by jurisdiction and firm name, event management capabilities, and member-only resources. Member engagement is reinforced through programs such as WLG | summit and WLG | immersion cross-firm exchanges. Member firms operate independently and are not affiliated for the joint practice of law; WLG itself does not practice law and is not a law firm or partnership of law firms.

World Law Group's business model is membership-based rather than client-billing: individual member firms set their own pricing for legal services rendered to clients, and WLG connects prospective clients with member firms through its directory and referral mechanisms. Primary customers are large multinational corporations and mid-market enterprises requiring coordinated cross-border legal services. The central organization is small (firmographics indicate 1–10 employees), and revenue, pricing, and financial details are not publicly disclosed.
