Can you assist with a British Will?

Yes. Paul provides guidance concerning British Wills and succession considerations, including where existing arrangements may need review following an international move.

Can you advise on Canadian law?

Paul's service is centred upon British legal matters. He is a British solicitor, not a Canadian lawyer. Where Canadian legal advice is required, an appropriately qualified Canadian lawyer may also need to be involved. Paul can help identify where this may be necessary.

Can you advise on US law?

Do you provide tax advice?

No. Legal advice and tax advice are distinct disciplines. Depending on your circumstances, specialist tax or accounting advice may be necessary, particularly in cross-border matters. Paul can help identify where such advice may be needed but does not provide tax advice himself.

How do consultations work?

After you submit an enquiry, Paul will review the information and establish whether he is able to assist. Where appropriate, a consultation can then be arranged — typically by telephone or video call — to discuss the circumstances, likely next steps and scope of work.

Can everything be handled remotely?

In many cases, yes. A considerable advantage of working with a British solicitor based in North America is that much of the work can be carried out without you needing to travel to Britain. Where physical attendance is required, Paul will advise.

How do I know whether my matter is something Paul can help with?

Send a brief enquiry. Paul can review the nature of the matter and let you know whether it falls within the work he undertakes. There is no need to determine which service you require before getting in touch.
