Our international experience

From commercial agreements to navigating complicated employment and immigration law, we pride ourselves on our practical and commercial approach. We handle a range of international issues for businesses of all kinds, involving real estate, restructuring and insolvency, employment and staff migration, intellectual property and dispute resolution.

We also work with private members of the international community who have legal issues in the UK. We have a reputation for being open and honest about any potential risk involved – and for helping you achieve an effective resolution.

Our team includes lawyers qualified to practice in multiple countries around the world, including Australia, the US, Canada and India.

Our Australian practice helps clients invest in Australia, navigate visa options, create business structures, understand foreign investment regulations, run their companies and register in different states as needed. We also help individuals manage their personal wealth.

European collaboration: expanding our Spanish expertise

Our collaboration with Spanish firm Tribeca is founded on a longstanding relationship, having worked together successfully – particularly with tech sector businesses – and having supported clients with international M&A and employment matters over several years.

The collaboration gives Tribeca’s clients access to our full-service UK offering, and HCR’s clients access to Tribeca’s expertise and experience in Spain. Similarly, Tribeca now have a presence within our international HQ in London. The collaboration means we’re able to support more UK businesses wanting to expand or do business in Spain, and also private individuals buying property or investing.
