Everything we do for you and your business in the UK, we do internationally

These days, business rarely stays within borders. Our team can help you cross-border – in the same way that we help you in the UK.

Whether you need advice on a cross-jurisdictional transaction, with managing your employees overseas, are looking to buy a property or set up an office in another country, or trade across the globe, we can help.

From our offices in Cardiff, London, and Paris, we regularly work with overseas clients, and general counsel in global companies, on UK and European legal issues. We can also put multinational teams together to project manage your transactions.

We’re lawyers and consultants, but we’re also linguists – with colleagues fluent in French, German, Italian, Serbian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Tamil, Punjabi, Macedonian, Ukrainian and Welsh – able to work with, and understand, different languages and cultures.

Working successfully on a global basis takes more than just knowledge of the law: you need to understand how different countries and markets do business – socially, commercially, and culturally. Our lawyers frequently work abroad and speak at international conferences and events. We regularly welcome foreign lawyers to spend time working with us in our offices. So, we understand the nuances of doing business abroad.

Our international desks:

We’ve launched international desks to provide you with speedy and direct access to the international support you need. We cover countries and regions as diverse as Germany, France, the Balkans, China and the US. These desks are made up of lawyers who originate from, or are intimately familiar with, the countries they represent. Many are native language speakers, and all have a sound understanding of the legal systems in these countries.

Our international networks:
