We know that your business demands specialist knowledge, skills and aptitude from professional advisers. That is why knowledge in our international organisation CMS is grouped together in eight Practice Area Groups (PAGs) and eight Industry Focus Groups (IFGs). The IFGs provide in-depth sector knowledge and the PAGs combine legal knowledge worldwide. Within these groups, tax and legal experts from the various CMS offices around the world work together intensively.
CMS Practice area groups
The CMS PAGs are made up of leading practitioners on our core legal disciplines. By regularly sharing experience and expertise, they enable CMS lawyers to deliver a consistent legal package on national and cross-border deals.
