International

The international market is assuming greater importance in today’s business world. As legal systems and cultures differ markedly in different parts of the world, getting local advice that is focused, precise and relevant becomes increasingly important.

Technology has enabled international deals to become common place, but at the same time has meant legal pitfalls are easier than ever to fall into without the right dedicated, specialised advice on hand.

In all cases it is vital that you get practical, commercially sensitive, timely legal advice and access to the best lawyers all over the world.

Inbound

We have expertise in work that comes to the UK from overseas and uses UK law

Outbound

Our international lawyers don’t just help if you’re in the UK. If you’re looking to obtain the best advice overseas then our team has extensive experience abroad and our independence lets us work with a carefully selected group of best friend law firms across the globe. Throughout the process we will also make introductions and project manage your matter as little or as much as you feel is right.

Crossbound

Many international deals with little or no UK assets or interest use English law to govern relevant agreements because it is transparent, predictable and flexible and the English law courts have an excellent reputation for fairness and commerciality. We are excellent project managers for these types of transactions, where English law is used to govern international transactions regardless of whether or not the transaction involves the UK. This is increasingly being adopted because it is transparent, predictable and flexible.
