International Business Law
We have considerable experience in advising overseas individuals and companies who wish to establish businesses in the UK or to use the UK and/or UK registered companies as part of their international operations.
We are used to dealing with complex structures, communicating over time zones, and we have the flexibility to be available when and where our advice is required.
For many years we have acted for non-resident individuals wishing to establish a temporary or permanent home in the UK, as well as those who, having been here for many years, need to shelter their assets from UK inheritance taxation.
