If you’re doing business with anyone outside the UK, I’m the person to speak with to make it happen easily and reduce the risk for your business. As a dual-qualified solicitor I have years of experience of working across-borders to help clients do business effectively and look after their personal interests. Get in touch with me or members of the International team, to discuss how we can help you.

International experience

Based out of our International HQ in London, cross-border expertise has always been part of our unique offering and continues to grow at pace to meet increasing demand.

HCR is home to lawyers who are dual-qualified in the UK and a second jurisdiction, including Australia and the US, and our lawyers speak over 30 different languages between them. We’re on the executive committee of LawExchange International, a network of 34 firms working together across five continents to meet the needs of our clients.

UK firm with global reach

HCR is continually recognised as market-leading for M&A activity by Experian, and our corporate expertise extends to deals in North America, Gulf Cooperation Council countries and India among other locations.

We’re internationally recognised for our cross-border dispute resolution and arbitration services, and members of the team are regularly invited to speak at international conferences such as London International Disputes Week and Cyprus Arbitration Days. We’re well-versed in the individual opportunities and challenges that come with global mobility, too, and our dedicated Private Wealth team support clients in multiple jurisdictions.

Cross-border collaborations

Partnering with firms who share our ethos and high standards extends our reach and allows us to share jurisdictional knowledge with ease to better serve clients. We have a long-standing relationship with Tribeca Abogados, a Spanish-based firm renowned for their corporate expertise, as well as Ajith M Legal – a healthcare firm based in Dubai – among other leading firms.

Hear what our clients say about us

HCR Law fields extensive proficiency in corporate and commercial law, particularly in navigating intricate cross-border transactions, frequently advising on private equity deals, and representing shareholders in various investment scenarios.

Client testimonial Legal 500 2024

Very knowledgeable about the subject matter and local idiosyncrasies. Personable, with a great eye for detail. In our case, they protected our position with vigour and demonstrated excellent commercial acumen. Well-connected to other professionals, with effective working relationships.

Client testimonial Legal 500 2024

HCR has become our go-to law firm for TV and media work. We recently needed a production arrangement with a multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate. We had issues across the UK and EU; the arrangements are complicated but Raj Pahuja found ways to simplify the process and then isolate key issues for negotiation.

 

Go-to law firm for TV and media work

The relationship with us goes back a long way, and the service HCR provides in the more ‘traditional’ areas such as employment and education remains first-rate. But what has been especially pleasing is the way that, as our ambitions and vision have broadened, so too has HCR’s ability to support us on our journey. Of course I’m thinking in particular about our international plans and discussions – it’s no exaggeration to say that we couldn’t have come as far as we have without your tremendous support, expertise and sage advice. Thanks.
