Core offering

Pangea Net is a Swiss Verein (association) of 27 independent law firms across 4 continents, providing cross-border legal services through member referrals, 12 specialized practice groups, and an Annual General Meeting. It connects clients of its member firms to vetted local counsel abroad and coordinates multi-jurisdictional engagements through a member-only network of 3,500+ lawyers.

Product overview

Pangea Net is an international network of independent law firms (not a traditional software product) that provides a coordination platform connecting 27 member law firms across 4 continents with 3,500+ lawyers. The network operates through its core offerings: 12 specialized Practice Groups (covering areas such as Arbitration, Corporate, Data/Information/Cyber Law, Intellectual Property, Tax, Employment, Real Estate, Renewables, Legal Tech & AI, and Commercial Law), an Annual General Meeting program, publications/newsletters, a member portal, and a contact directory. Pangea Net does not render legal services directly; these are provided exclusively by its independent member law firms. The network functions as a business development and knowledge-sharing platform rather than a software-as-a-service product.
