Our Approach to Cross-Jurisdictional Advice

We have a number of clients whose business extends beyond the UK and who we assist with international issues as they arise. We have established a network of relationships with partner law firms internationally, each of whom we work regularly with and trust.

We work with local experts who are best placed and qualified, with both the specific legal and sector specific expertise necessary, to provide the particular advice and expertise that you require. This means that you obtain a seamless service, irrespective of the jurisdictions involved, and access to the most appropriate local experts for your own particular requirements.

We ensure that any work undertaken by our overseas partner law firms is carried out to the same standard and representing the same excellent value for money as if we were providing the advice ourselves and manage that relationship for you.

We are equally comfortable working with your preferred local counsel and regularly act as co-counsel with leading local law firms on cross-border disputes.
