Refer a Client to Transatlantic Legal
If you advise clients with assets, family, or legal interests in Britain, you may encounter matters that fall outside your practice area. Transatlantic Legal exists to handle precisely those matters — as your referral partner, not your competitor.
Your clients have British matters. You don't practise British law.
Accountants, independent financial advisors, and estate lawyers in Canada and the United States regularly encounter clients with ties to Britain — a parent who has died in England, a holiday home in the Cotswolds, a British Will that needs reviewing alongside a Canadian estate plan. These matters require a solicitor qualified in England and Wales. Finding one who understands the North American client's perspective is harder still.
Paul Martyn Lindsey LLB bridges that gap. As a British solicitor based in Calgary, he provides the British legal expertise your clients need, with the accessibility and coordination that you, as their adviser, expect.
British-Qualified, Calgary-Based
Paul is a solicitor qualified in England and Wales, practising from Calgary. Your clients get genuine British legal expertise without the complications of instructing a firm in Britain directly.
Same Time Zone
No overnight delays or early-morning calls. Paul works on Mountain Time, making coordination with Canadian and US professionals straightforward.
Clear Scope & Reporting
Where instructed, Paul explains the scope of work, applicable terms, and expected next steps before substantive work begins. Referring professionals are kept informed as appropriate.
