Membership of the DIRO network

DIRO has been one of the leading lawyer networks in Europe for more than 30 years. With nearly 200 member law firms, it provides strategic support to its partners and offers clients reliable contacts across Europe.

At DIRO, it is not just an individual lawyer who becomes a member, but the entire law firm with all its professionals. This model enables genuine knowledge and experience sharing and opens up a wide range of solution approaches.

Clients increasingly expect cross-border advice. Through DIRO, law firms can seamlessly and reliably refer cases to other countries without any loss of quality.

We support law firms individually in their digital development, whether it is with websites, cloud solutions, or the use of AI. Our focus is on tailored support rather than standardized solutions.

DIRO Multisite is a website builder system developed specifically for law firms. Members can use it to design their online presence independently while benefiting from professional SEO and SEA support—at significantly lower rates than traditional agencies.

Today, clients primarily search for legal services online. If you do not appear on Google, you will not be found. With the Multisite and additional services in SEO and advertising, we support our members in achieving digital visibility. We are also developing a geo-solution to strengthen regional findability. In addition, presence in AI-driven search systems and chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot is becoming increasingly important—and we support our firms in this area as well.

Membership offers in particular:

1. Knowledge sharing and access to best practices

2. Consistent quality standards for reliable collaboration

3. Access to centrally incoming cases via DIRO LEGAL

DIRO LEGAL is the network’s international central law firm and the main point of contact for cross-border or recurring legal matters. With more than 200 member firms in Germany, Europe, and worldwide, it provides extensive expertise—consolidated through a central hub that coordinates cases and simplifies collaboration for clients.

Members meet regularly at DIRO conferences and in digital expert forums. These meetings foster networking, professional exchange, and the initiation of joint projects. Collaboration goes far beyond simply sharing contacts and results in genuine partnerships.

We help firms position themselves as attractive employers—for example, through modern career pages and targeted recruitment marketing. In addition, we develop training programs for career changers to expand the talent pool.

Partners are a central element of DIRO. They bring specialized tools and services to the network, ranging from legal databases to legal tech solutions. All member firms benefit directly from this added value.

AI is fundamentally transforming legal work. With our AI community and partners such as Libra, we support law firms in applying AI in practice—for instance in document analysis, legal research, and automation. A special focus is on change management to ensure AI technologies are integrated meaningfully into everyday legal practice.

Internationally active companies in particular find the ideal solution with us. They can rely on uniform quality standards and trusted contacts across Europe—whether in Germany, France, or Italy.

Interested firms will find a detailed overview of the admission process in the “Become a Member” section of our website www.diro.eu .

In the coming years, we will further expand and digitally connect the network. Our main focus will be on artificial intelligence, international collaboration, and new service platforms. Our goal is to establish DIRO as the leading partner for mid-sized law firms in Europe.
