Inward Investment

WE PROVIDE SOLUTIONS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL INVESTOR.

Foot Anstey recognises the need to look after the international community both at home and abroad. Our international practice has developed significantly over the last few years, and we now advise many clients who are located outside the UK. Based on our expertise as Privy Council Agents, we are able to assist international clients on the full breadth of legal issues they may encounter.

We recognise and understand the needs of clients from the Commonwealth and elsewhere. Whether you are establishing a business in England for the first time, trading internationally, involved in an appeal to the Privy Council, or considering using the UK to resolve trade disputes, we have the lawyers who can assist you. Our international experience includes advising overseas corporations with subsidiary businesses in England and Wales and acquisitions and sales that have an international element.

As well as supporting our clients in relation to their business interests, we offer a wealth and succession service which offers assistance with tax, inheritance and all aspects of estate planning. Our links with other professional service providers, including banks, accountants, financial advisors, and a network of overseas law firms, means that we are able to introduce our clients to other reputable professionals. This not only promotes peace of mind, but speeds up business transactions.
