How to Use the Service Directory

Choose a service according to the issue you need to resolve. Its page explains the assistance involved, preparation and possible limitations. If the title does not make it clear which service you need, start with legal advice: a clear description of the facts and what you hope to achieve is enough for an initial enquiry.

The list below is a navigation tool, not confirmation that every service is available in every country. The authority required, the professional responsible and the format and scope of work are determined for each assignment. You can agree how to communicate and provide a description of your documents before sending the complete file.

Personal Matters and Protecting Your Rights

Individuals can contact us about family matters, divorce, inheritance, real estate, contracts and debts. Other areas include civil and insurance disputes, consumer rights, compensation for loss and a lawyer’s involvement in criminal proceedings. Litigation and other procedural work require a review of the documents, the person’s legal status and the relevant deadlines.

Advice, drafting an application and representation are not automatically supplied as a single package. You can agree an individual task or a sequence of stages. If proceedings are already before a court or another representative is acting for you, please tell us before discussing further steps.

Companies, Entrepreneurs and Investment Projects

Business services cover establishing and structuring operations, registration and corporate matters, contracts, tax advice and risk assessment. Support may also be available for investments, commercial real estate, insurance matters, intellectual property and IT businesses. Company due diligence and legal reviews help identify risks within an agreed scope; they do not guarantee that no problems exist.

For disputes, we consider negotiation, pre-action claims, debt recovery, litigation and international commercial arbitration. The appropriate route depends on the contract, jurisdiction and circumstances. Enforcement may be a separate stage. Financial expert assessments and other specialist checks require agreement on who will undertake them and the scope of work.

You can arrange business legal support for an agreed set of ongoing tasks. If you need permits, licences or an assessment of the requirements for a regulated activity, we confirm whether we can assist in that particular case. Rules governing one type of business should not automatically be applied to another.

Documents, Certification and Translation

Separate services cover replacement civil registry documents, court and educational documents, certificates and archival confirmations. We need to check entitlement to obtain them, the type of document required and whether a representative can act. Applying for a document does not amend the underlying public records or guarantee that missing information can be recovered.

Apostilles, consular legalisation, written translation, legal translation, sworn translation and notarised translation serve different purposes. Interpreting is agreed separately. The recipient’s requirements determine which documents and formalities are needed. To begin remotely, you can discuss an online consultation or the preparation of a legal document online.

Country and Terms of the Assignment

The country where legal steps must be taken is not always the client’s country of residence. Our country pages set out the geographical coverage and types of enquiry considered. After reviewing your task, we agree the assistance available, the local professional, the working language, fees and additional costs.
