(PRWEB) August 4, 2003 -- MSI Legal & Accounting Network Worldwide (MSI) has bolstered its position as one of the worlds fastest-growing professional services networks by appointing 9 new member firms in the last quarter.

Law firms Kruse Landa Maycock & Ricks of Salt Lake City, UT, and Leu Okuda & Leu of Honolulu, HI, are the latest firms to join MSI in the US, taking the number of firms nationally to 46.

Jim Kruse, managing partner of Kruse Landa Maycock & Ricks, says: "As our clients become increasingly involved in national and international business weve experienced a corresponding need to expand our professional relationships with firms in other cities. MSI enables us to meet this growing requirement by providing us with a network of capable professionals in whom both us and our clients can place our confidence."

MSI has made strong gains elsewhere in the world by adding 7 firms in: Thailand (Wattanawijit Audit); South Korea (Easi Accounting Corporation); Latvia (G&H Partneri); Bolivia (llanes y Asociados Auditores y Consultores); Switzerland (Gfeller & Partner); Ireland (Casey McGrath & Associates); and South Africa (Smith Tabata).

James Mendelssohn, Chief Executive of MSI says: Continued growth demonstrates our commitment to appointing an independent law and accounting firm in every major world commercial center. Clients realise that strong local firms with national and international connections can serve them just as well as the larger firms, yet provide a more personal touch, greater local expertise, and all for a more reasonable fee."

This latest expansion takes the number of MSI member firms to 216 in 87 countries, and ensures that MSI remains the only genuine global network of independent law and accounting firms.
