Collyer Bristow is a highly internationally focused firm. In any given year around a third of our revenue is attributed to clients outside of the UK.
Our countries of focus
Across our various specialisms we work with clients and contacts based in countries all around the world. However as a firm we maintain a particular focus upon; have a cultural awareness and language expertise in; and have built considerable professional contacts in Italy, USA, Channel Islands, and Switzerland.
Our Swiss office
Our Swiss office, established in 2004, places our English law and UK tax expertise within this hub of international wealth and commerce. We regularly have different teams of lawyers operating from the region, servicing our corporate and high-net-worth private clients and maintaining valuable links with local advisers.
Many corporate and high-net-worth private clients establish a key strategic presence in Switzerland, whether it is their headquarters or a family office or the place where they bank or establish trusts. They often have complex international legal requirements and, with English law frequently used in international contracts and with England often chosen as a centre for dispute resolution, our clients see significant advantages in being able to access our English legal services from Geneva.
Our international legal network
We are an active member of World Link for Law, a leading network of
international law firms. The network comprises 70 law firms with 80 offices in 47 countries worldwide. This close network of law firms enables us to source and collaborate with high quality international legal providers in the jurisdictions that our clients require.
Banking Litigation Network
In 2012, we formed the Banking Litigation Network, an international grouping of bank conflict free law firms providing clients with multi-jurisdictional support in litigation. The network has now expanded to members in 27 jurisdictions.
