In an ever more global market place and as our clients become more international, they need guidance and expertise to act on cross border deals, as well as advice on different legal systems and trading practices. Increasingly strict and complex EU regulations demand specialist capabilities with an intricate knowledge of local laws. We have responded to our clients’ needs for cross border legal advice by seeking an international network that would provide a comprehensive service and meet our own client service delivery requirements.
Withy King is the first law firm in the UK to be invited to join Warwick Legal Network (WLN), an international association of independent law firms that provide a high quality, legal service to clients throughout Europe. WLN currently comprises law firms in 18 European countries, with further expansion plans imminent. Each member of WLN is individually recommended for membership only after successfully completing rigorous financial and professional checks and interviews to maintain the highest standards.
International legal services are most commonly requested in relation to issues arising from employment, real estate, insolvency and company restructuring and those seeking to negotiate cross-border deals. WLN has particularly strong European expertises in the areas of employment, real estate and tax, including helping expatriates (‘non-doms’) to manage their tax affairs.
