ELA는 전세계 개별 법률회사에서 일하고 있는 변호사들의 네트워크 조직입니다. 기업 규모, 형태, 업종 등에 관계없이 어떠한 기업이든지 그 기업의 경영인에게 종합적이면서도 실용적인 법률 서비스를 제공합니다. ELA의 미션은 오로지 한 가지, 즉 고객들의 고용 및 노동 관련 문제의 발생을 사전에 방지하도록 지원하며 실제로 문제가 발생하는 경우 바람직한 방향으로 해결한다는 것입니다.
ELA는 파트너쉽으로 구성된 조직이 아닙니다. 모든 회원들과 그 회원들의 소속 회사는 회원 자신의 고객들을 위해 독립적으로 일하며 자체적으로 수행한 업무에 대하여 개별적으로 책임을 집니다. 고객과 변호사의 관계는 법률 서비스를 제공하는 특정 ELA 회원과 특정 고객간에 형성되는 것이며 법률 서비스를 제공하지 않는 한 다른 회원 변호사와 이와 같은 관계는 존재하지 않게 됩니다. ELA는 각각의 역량을 보유한 독립된 변호사들이 함께 연합 함으로서 최대한의 능력을 발휘하여 고객의 고용• 노동 법률 관련 니드를 충족시키는 네트워크입니다. 폭 넓은 네트워크를 통해 아주 세부적인 내용부터 국제적이고 광범위한 내용에 이르기까지의 고용 및 노동관계 법률과 관련된 문제들을 처리할 수 있으며 경영인들을 효과적으로 대표하고 그들이 최선의 결정을 하도록 지원하고 있습니다.

Our company, Konami Gaming, Inc., is growing rapidly in a very diverse and highly regulated industry. We are aggressively entering new markets outside the domestic U.S., including Canada and South America. I have had the recent opportunity to utilize the services provided by the ELA. The legal advice was both responsive and professional. Most of all, the entire process was seamless since our Nevada attorney coordinated the services and legal advice requested. I look forward to working with the ELA in the future, as it serves as a great resource to the legal community.

In my career I have been a practicing attorney, counsel to the Governor of Maine, and CEO of a major public utility. I have worked with many lawyers in many settings. When the American University in Bulgaria needed help with employment litigation in federal court in Syracuse, New York, we turned to Pierce Atwood, the ELA member we knew and trusted in Maine, for a referral. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness and high quality of service we received from Bond Schoeneck & King, the ELA's firm in upstate New York. I would not hesitate to recommend the ELA to any employer.

We have direct sales and service offices all over the U.S., but have not necessarily had the need in the past for assistance with legal work in every state where we have a business presence. From time to time, we suddenly find ourselves facing a legal issue in a state where we have no outside counsel relationship. It has been a real benefit to know that the ELA has assembled such an impressive team of experts throughout the U.S. and overseas.
A few years ago, we faced a very tough discrimination lawsuit in Mississippi. We had never had to retain a lawyer there before. I was absolutely delighted with the Mississippi ELA firm. We received an excellent result. They will no doubt handle all of our employment law matters in Mississippi in the future. I have also obtained the assistance of several other ELA firms around the U.S. and have received the same outstanding service. The ELA is a tremendous resource for our company.Paul Nix
