Association of European Lawyers

Through our membership of the Association of European Lawyers, we have connections with a number of international law firms. Our experienced Contentious probate team can also advise on cross border disputes.


We provide a national service to private clients via our offices in London, Watford, Bristol and Birmingham. For clients based in North Bristol, we also have a dedicated office at 106 Henleaze Road.

To discuss the administration of an international estate, and how our lawyers can help, please contact Angharad Lynn on 020 7665 0904.

 

Solicitors must be used to dealing with the ups and downs, chops of changes that can occur during a lifetime. It would be easy to become hardened to these things when dealing with client.... I remain all the more thankful to have been advised by a caring executor and a caring firm who have made it their business simply to meet the deceased's wishes.
