We frequently advise our UK and international clients on a broad range of cross-border legal issues
We have multilingual lawyers with international backgrounds and our cross-border work covers a wide range of clients with a global reach.
We assist our worldwide clients with setting up businesses in the UK or expanding their business operations into the UK, providing ongoing ‘all-round’ legal support during the various stages of the client’s development and expansion, including the following:
- Cross-border mergers, acquisitions, disposals and other corporate transactions;
- International group reorganisations;
- Business immigration, employment and global mobility;
- Commercial contracts and cross-border trade;
- Real estate projects, acquisitions, disposals and investment into the real estate;
- Cross-border dispute resolution and international arbitration;
- Inward investment;
- Data protection.
We even assist clients where there is no English law involved, acting as the legal project manager overseeing and monitoring multi-jurisdictional projects, helping the client to choose the right professional advisors from various countries.
We are often instructed to manage large scale due diligence exercises by overseas clients buying in the UK, or where part of the group being acquired has a UK presence.
Whether you are setting up a subsidiary in the UK or overseas or negotiating your supplier and distribution agreements, our lawyers can help.
Global networks
We have extensive relationships with various professionals in other jurisdictions globally which we have carefully selected from our international professional networks, which enables us to service our clients’ various legal and commercial needs worldwide.
We will look to find you the best lawyer for your needs in any jurisdiction, as we are not tied to using our own overseas offices like many other international firms.
We are active members of several professional networks, including IBA (International Bar Association), the British American Business Association and Eurojuris International providing us with access to trusted advisers in most jurisdictions around the world.
Through the development of trusted relationships, we have been able to lead and coordinate teams to meet our clients’ specific international needs.
