UK LAW SOLICITORS

First-class legal support when you’re looking to set-up or expand business in the UK

Despite the current uncertainties around Brexit, the United Kingdom remains an attractive hub for US companies expanding into Europe and the Middle East, with its common language, easy transport links, comparatively light employment regulation, and relatively low interest and taxation rates.

We represent many US companies, from Fortune 500 firms and high-growth businesses to international start-ups and SMEs, and have enabled international companies in a variety of sectors to enter the UK market.

A viable and cost-effective alternative to London firms

Willans generates applause as a result of it 'pulling out all the stops' to assist clients and demonstrating 'commitment to the task' at hand.''
