International

In an increasingly connected world business of all sizes operate across borders, which can involve a myriad of legal intricacies and complex regulations due to the unique laws for each country. Whether you’re looking to expand outside of the UK, or you’re an international company wanting to do business in the UK, we help organisations forge a path free of legal issues allowing you to focus on what you’re good at.

In addition to our UK offices, including a London International HQ, we have specialist expertise and collaborative relationships in Australia, China, Europe, India, the Middle East and the USA.

How much will you charge me?

It depends on the nature of your enquiry, but we are the most cost-effective firm for overseas work and we make it clear how much our expertise will cost from the outset.

We’re happy with the counter party we’re working with – can you just run a quick check to confirm they’re OK so we can tick the box for compliance purposes?

If you haven’t done these checks before you engaged them, then the chances are they are not OK. At this point, we’ll need to do some risk management work to make sure everything is above board.

How can I save tax on our group structure when I do business in China?

Tax avoidance shouldn’t be the primary concern at the outset. Focus on getting everything else right first – having a workable, secure commercial structure is very difficult if you have prioritised tax advice first.

Our international experience

From commercial agreements to navigating complicated employment and immigration law, we pride ourselves on having a practical, commercial approach. We handle a range of international issues for businesses, including cases involving real estate, restructuring and insolvency, employment and staff migration, intellectual property, litigation and dispute resolution. We also work with private international individuals that have legal issues in the UK.  We have a reputation for being open and honest about any potential risks involved and for helping you achieve an effective resolution.

Our team includes lawyers qualified to practice in multiple countries around the world, including Australia, the US, China, Canada and India. Several of our solicitors are members of the Insolvency Lawyers Association and the International Bar Association.

Our clients

We’ve helped all sorts of companies to get established in the UK, from recruitment companies and publishing businesses to large international corporations and renowned sports brands. For organisations looking to expand their scope outside of the UK, we’ve assisted everyone from helmet manufacturers to the University of Gloucestershire.

A world of expertise with a London HQ

We have specialist expertise and collaborative relationships in Australia, China, Europe, India, the Middle East and the USA, where our relationships with the people and institutions that might affect you are tried and tested. Our legal, commercial and government connections within those areas are extensive and deep – we work with individuals that we’ve personally known for years. Beyond our regions of specialist expertise, we are a member of LawExchange International, which gives us access to the expertise of 37 independent law firms across five continents and 31 countries.
