Helping clients to overcome the many pitfalls of international trading

Awareness not assumption
Despite having many apparent similarities, it is nevertheless a fact that systems of law differ widely from country to country and it can never be safely assumed that what is acceptable in one jurisdiction will be acceptable in another, or that legal terms have the same meaning wherever you may be.

Working in a global arena
Offering experience of dealing and liaising with and working alongside expert foreign lawyers since 1970, Brian Drewitt Solicitors has worked repeatedly in many countries to resolve legal issues. With practical “hands on” experience of working in other jurisdictions throughout Europe and elsewhere, in particular Nigeria and Hong Kong, Brian Drewitt are able to manage and advise on the problems of dealing with matters in other countries.

A level playing field
Conflict of law is one of the most significant problems encountered when crossing frontiers and Brian Drewitt Solicitors ensure that an applicable system of law is used, especially when dealing with multiple parties and cultures.

Avoiding misunderstandings
To maintain a relevant and meaningful dialogue with people for whom English is not the first language, Brian Drewitt Solicitors ensure that all communications use simple, carefully constructed language without jargon or colloquialisms.
