International

We have partnered successfully with many wealthy individuals and families across the world including from the US, Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe.

They have placed their trust in us to support and advise them on multiple matters ranging from establishing businesses in the UK, investing in real estate, planning immigration to the UK and helping them structure and finance their international private and business assets.

Experience shows that in spite of numerous challenges – be those economic or political – the UK remains a great place in which to live, work or establish a business. For many, a land of uncertainty has become a land of opportunity, and we enjoy helping our clients achieve their goals on an international stage.

We offer a genuinely full service to our international clients, with language skill across our core practice areas including Arabic and Spanish. Our team are not only highly dedicated and commercially astute but they are also attuned to cultural and religious sensitivities and the applicable domestic legal and tax framework within which our clients operate.
