Services offered by Krieg DeVault are not limited to Indiana, to the Midwest, or even to the United States. As a result of our Meritas membership, we have access to a worldwide alliance of nearly 200 independent business law firms and 49,000 attorneys in over 50 countries. That means that Krieg DeVault's clients receive the legal services that they need, no matter where in the world they need it.

Meritas is a business alliance that brings together like-minded law firms based on rigorous client satisfaction requirements. Membership in Meritas is by invitation only and members are held accountable to specific service standards and other strict membership requirements. For example, firms must:

• Return all client calls, emails and faxes within 24 hours
• Demonstrate a consistent record of client satisfaction
• Comply with a stringent code of ethics
• Provide clients with Alternative Dispute Resolution options when appropriate
• Undergo a biannual recertification process.

Meritas is stringent in requiring firms to leave if they do not maintain these standards.

As a Meritas member, Krieg DeVault can offer our clients a wealth of services not available through even the largest multinational law firms:

• Access to comprehensive evaluations and satisfaction levels of all member firms
• An online database of Meritas attorneys, searchable by legal skill and industry expertise
• Common technology platforms, allowing clients to benefit from streamlined multi-jurisdictional legal teams and cross-border practice groups

If you have a legal concern that may require specialized counsel or assistance in another region of the world, please ask any of our attorneys about Meritas.
