“…In particular, cases relating to politico‐administrative tasks and to construction regulations are normally nation state specific. In contrast, transnational companies act in numerous national settings and are thus subject to a wide range of federal and national rules and international regulations (Calliess and Renner ; de Jonge ), thereby in turn exerting influence on them (Zumbansen ), with a major role assigned to “expatriates” (Beaverstock ).…”

The objective of this paper is to illustrate the trajectories of innovation biographies in the service economy utilising the geographic heuristics of physical and relational distances. Drawing on the theoretical literature on the significance of proximity and distance to economic activities, the paper examines three case studies in the law sector. The analysis focuses on the role of the term "innovation" within law businesses and on the interplay of proximities and distances in the case studies. type of business (see, for empirical evidence, Doloreux and Shearmur 2012; Tether, Li and Mina 2012). Second, where literature focuses on distance and investigates its productivity, as in the case of cognitive distance (Nooteboom 1999) or organisational independence (Torre 2008), the focus remains one dimensional.Therefore, as Boschma (2005) and Knoben and Oerlemans (2006) have shown, the concept of proximity and distance should be extended to a wider range of dimensions, such as the social, institutional, and technological. This multidimensionality and the inherently reciprocal interrelationships between these dimensions explain much about the complexity in processes of knowledge generation. Additionally, complexity emerges from the changing nature of relations over the course of innovation processes. This is reflected in research on the temporality of physical co-location (Torre 2008) and on the link between local buzz (physical proximity) and global networks (physical distance;Bathelt, Malmberg and Maskell 2004), which requires convergence of differing networks (Castells 2010) and economic actors to travel regularly (Storper and Venables 2004).This paper analyses innovation processes, focusing in particular on multidimensional relations and how their significance and character change through the process. From this, a discussion of the relationship between proximities and distances emerges.
