Expats
Living and working close to the border of England and Scotland, the question of legal jurisdiction commonly arises.
For some it may be best to divorce in England, for some, Scotland. We have long experience of guiding clients through this area.
Our know-how also spans further afield and our team has acted for and against expats in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Hong Kong among others. Difficult questions of child abduction, foreign investments and pensions may complicate straightforward arrangements or agreements.
We are happy to advise initially by telephone and accept instructions by email, provided appropriate ID is supplied prior to interview.
We can instruct and obtain expert legal advisors in foreign jurisdictions where the circumstances require it.
