International law FAQs

Do I need a UK lawyer and a lawyer in another country in international matters?

Whether you need a local lawyer depends on the nature of your matter and the jurisdiction involved. For many international matters, such as cross-border contracts, corporate transactions, property purchases, or estate planning, our UK-based international specialists can provide advice and handle much of the work.

However, certain local laws, registration requirements, or regulatory approvals may require the expertise of a lawyer licensed in that country. Where this is necessary, we work closely with a trusted network of local lawyers worldwide, ensuring you receive seamless, coordinated advice that is fully compliant.

How do you coordinate with lawyers in other countries?

We have a network of trusted partner lawyers worldwide and a proven track record of working closely with them on cross-border matters. By coordinating across time zones and anticipating potential issues, we help keep international matters on track and moving forward smoothly, so work is completed efficiently and to a high standard.

How do you ensure compliance with both UK law and foreign laws?

We take a proactive and coordinated approach to cross-border legal matters. Our UK-based solicitors regularly handle international work, keeping up to date with developments in both UK and foreign law. We collaborate with other specialists who provide guidance and flag potential issues, and when local expertise is required, we work closely with a trusted network of partner lawyers worldwide. This approach allows us to identify conflicts early, ensure all regulatory and legal obligations are met, and implement solutions that comply with both UK law and the relevant foreign requirements.

In the UK is Solicitor and a Lawyer the same thing?

Lawyer is a general term used to describe people who provide legal services. A solicitor is a lawyer who has been admitted as a solicitor by the Solicitor Regulation Authority (SRA) and whose name appears on the solicitors register on the SRA website.
