When life crosses borders, legal matters often do too.

Modern families are increasingly international. A person may be British-born but living in Calgary. A Canadian may have inherited a flat in London. An American family may have a parent in a care home in England. In each case, the legal position may involve more than one country's rules.

Paul Martyn Lindsey LLB provides British legal guidance for individuals and families whose affairs cross borders. He can help identify which aspects of a matter involve British law, and where the involvement of professionals in another jurisdiction may also be appropriate.

The first step is often simply establishing which jurisdiction — or jurisdictions — need to be involved.

Far from being a weakness, this clarity is a strength. Knowing where each aspect of a matter sits allows for a more efficient, more considered approach — and helps avoid unnecessary complications further down the line.

Where a matter requires professionals in more than one jurisdiction, Paul can provide the British legal guidance and, where appropriate, help coordinate with appropriately qualified advisers in Canada or the United States.
