Ally Law

The global legal service group Ally Law includes 80+ law firms and 2,800+ lawyers in 100 key business centers. Ally Law has its origins in the International Alliance of Law Firms, a premier network started more than 25 years ago. MELCHERS is a founding member of Ally Law. In 2020 Ally Law celebrated its 30th anniversary.

Ally Law provides globally coordinated legal advice to comopanies who have complex multi-national legal matters. All participating law firms are subject to rigorous and detailed service and quality standards. This quality standard together with a uniform project management combines all advantages of an international major law firm with the result-oriented and cost-effective work of medium-sized law firms. The participating law firms remain independent organizations despite this close cooperation in individual projects.

Ally Law removes any law firm that fails to meet standards or receives poor evaluations which ensures a permanent high counseling quality.

The attorneys of Ally Law members have long experience in the different sectors (Health Care, Leisure and Hospitality, Real Estate, Trade, Technology), know about their specific peculiarities and have comprehensive expertise in all relevant practice areas (corporate/M&A, regulatory law, trade law, intellectual property, labor law).

The Ally Law motto “We get it. We get it done.” is a permanent motivation to provide you with the best legal advice possible – wherever your business takes you.

The members of Ally Law’s Litigation Specialty Group have prepared a multijurisdictional compendium of the law of attorney-client privilege as it relates to in-house counsel: “Attorney – Client Privilege in the Global Context: Practical Guidance For In-House Counsel.” MELCHERS contributed the article on the legal situation in Germany. Please find the compendium here.

MELCHERS sponsors the 12th Rhine-Neckar Corporate Golf Cup

For many years, enthusiastic golfers have been meeting every year in September for the Corporate Golf Cup of the Verein Zukunft Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar (ZMRN e.V.). At this year’s event, 120 participants competed in perfect weather on the green of the St. Leon-Rot Golf Club or tested their golfing talent at the taster course offered as well. Of course, networking was not neglected either.
At the convivial conclusion in the evening, not only the successful golfers were beaming, but also the representatives of the 15 district and local associations of the Child Protection Association in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, to whom a total of 15,000 euros from the tournament proceeds were handed over. MELCHERS was pleased to be among the sponsors of the Corporate Golf Cup in order to support the important work of the Child Protection Association.

Mannheim Women's Run: once again, the MELCHERS Women's Brunch team took part

The Mannheim Women’s Run celebrated a jubilee in 2023: the event took place for the 10th time. Of course, the MELCHERS Women’s Brunch team was at the start again. The female attorneys and junior lawyers from MELCHERS thus contributed to the record number of participants, 2,194 female runners. Not only the organisers were pleased with this large field of participants, but also the supported charity organisations, as a part of each entry fee went to selected social projects.
After the run, the traditional after-run party took place on the grounds of TSV Mannheim von 1846 e.V.. The award ceremony and live music attracted the participants towards the stage, catering stands provided a variety of food and the good atmosphere invited to socialise. The runners of the MELCHERS Women’s Brunch also enjoyed the evening with their colleagues long after the race itself. “Celebrating together is just as much a part of our group as overcoming difficulties together – today the last-minute extension of the running distance by 40%. It was a great event that further strengthened our sense of community,” commented Katharina Ebbecke on the successful event.

MELCHERS employee supports animal protection

Regularly, lawyers from MELCHERS publish articles and receive an expense allowance for doing so. This is also the case for our colleague Svenja Riedling, specialist lawyer for building and architects’ law and specialist lawyer for tenancy and residential property law. She waived her last expense allowance in favour of sponsoring a pet at the association Tierschutz Spanien e.V. (Animal Protection Spain). The donation went to “MELCHI”, a 12-year-old male mongrel, who can now wait for a good new home in the care of the association. We are happy about the commitment of our employee and thank her very much.

We are MELCHERS. Your partner for business law.

You set the Goal. We know the way.
