UK Nationals Living Abroad

Wherever you choose to live, you may still have business affairs, personal assets and family members in the UK. All will likely be subject to UK legal rules and navigating these from abroad can be complex, particularly where they may be complicated, sensitive or span multiple jurisdictions.

That is why it is vital to get the best possible advice, from lawyers who can see every angle. We will help you to think about how your move may impact on your personal, business and family affairs. 

Our legal experts will guide you through the key issues involved in cross-border estate planning, and we will help you to structure your personal, business and philanthropic assets in a tax efficient manner, seamlessly coordinating advice between different jurisdictions. 

You may also be faced with legal issues related to family relationships, and we can advise on nuptial agreements, child arrangements and how best to navigate through financial settlements in case of separation. We will also advise on you or your family’s ability to return to the UK, and on any questions around your property ownership or business interests. 

We also know that sometimes your move abroad may not be by choice, and we can provide discreet, strategic advice to expatriates and internationally mobile clients facing serious criminal matters. In doing so, we will draw on our extensive experience and strong reputation in handling complex, domestic and cross‑border cases with sensitivity and precision. 

While we only advise in respect of the laws of England and Wales, we work closely with an established network of trusted advisors in other jurisdictions with whom we can liaise on a range of issues. 

So wherever you live in the world, we will take the time to understand your particular circumstances and priorities before developing a strategy that is best for you.
