We are a London-based law firm operating in a global market. Many of our clients are based overseas and our assignments often have an international component.
Whether you are seeking to invest in the UK, expand overseas, or are addressing cross-jurisdictional challenges, our lawyers can support international clients seeking English legal advice, as well as domestic clients requiring advice in other jurisdictions. Our diverse team (20+ Languages spoken) offers wide-ranging legal capability to support international clients in the UK and abroad.
We coordinate and meet our clients’ global needs through our international desks. These are led by lawyers who not only are native language speakers from the region, but have a deep understanding of the culture, business and legal environment in a particular jurisdiction, minimising any barriers to achieve your goals.
In addition to our own services, our long-established relationships with law firms in many of the leading commercial centres around the world ensure you have access to appropriate in-country expertise. We can assemble multi-disciplinary teams across multiple jurisdictions (at the same time if needed) at short notice that can deal with all aspects of international advice. We can project manage and coordinate this advice for you too if so required.
