Legal Advice
-
All the views expressed in this website are general comments and NOT intended to be legal advice.
-
Before you take any action, I strongly recommend you seek the professional advice of a specialist lawyer regularly dealing with the matter[s] you are interested in.
-
All lawyers in private practice carry professional indemnity insurance in case they make a mistake.
-
I no longer have such insurance cover, so am not able to provide professional advice.
-
If you need a Notary, then ask your lawyer as they will know the ones they usually deal with.
English-speaking lawyers abroad
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides lists of English-speaking lawyers abroad to help British nationals find the legal support they need.
You can find lawyers by country or a more specific location, and with a particular area of legal expertise. All lawyers on the lists have confirmed to the FCDO that they can provide services in English.
You should always:
-
Do your own research before deciding which provider to use. Two personal recommendations for the same lawyer are ideal.
-
Check if any insurance policies you have include legal cover before you contact a lawyer independently. The insurer may want you to use a lawyer from their approved list.
