It was initially founded in 2000 in Hamburg, Germany, by Marcia Zeitoune Janzen, LL.M. Since then, the firm has served middle-sized companies, global conglomerates, and individuals on the bridge between Brazil and Germany.

In addition, Clayston has built a network of lawyers, medical advisers, auditors, and tax and business consultants in several European and Asian countries.
In Israel, the firm added top-tier Israeli law firms and companies to its clientele.

The clients operate in the Energy (Oil and Gas), Ports, Printing and Graphic, Chemicals, High Tech, AgriTech, Insurance, Foreign Trade, Aviation, Satellites and Mobile Telephony industries, among others.
The firm takes the needs of its clients very individually,
