1. Define the matter
We identify the legal and commercial objectives, relevant jurisdictions and whether any part of the work is reserved or separately regulated.
CLARITY ACROSS JURISDICTIONS
About Royal Law
Independent cross-border consultancy from London, with regulated and reserved work clearly separated and handled by appropriately authorised professionals where required.
OUR MODEL
International legal consultancy with transparent regulatory boundaries
Royal Law helps clients organise and manage complex cross-border legal matters from London. Our model separates consultancy and coordination from work that must be carried out by an authorised or jurisdiction-specific professional.
Royal Law is a trading name of Hamilton & Nassouri R Lawyers Ltd (company number 06341189). The company is not an SRA-authorised law firm. A person's individual status as a solicitor, Registered Foreign Lawyer, barrister or other regulated professional is personal to that individual and does not make Royal Law an authorised firm.
2. Allocate responsibility
We identify who will perform each element of work and what professional status or authorisation applies to that person or provider.
3. Document the engagement
Scope, fees, regulatory status, insurance information and external-provider arrangements are confirmed before substantive work begins.
Working with regulated professionals
Royal Law may work alongside solicitors, Registered Foreign Lawyers, barristers, foreign counsel and other authorised specialists. Where an individual regulated professional provides services through or in connection with Royal Law, clients are told which work that individual is responsible for and what regulatory protections apply.
Where reserved legal work or another separately regulated activity is required, our preferred model is a direct or otherwise clearly separate engagement between the client and the authorised provider. This keeps responsibility, professional regulation, insurance, costs and complaints arrangements transparent.
Professional titles and regulatory descriptions
Professional titles are used only for people entitled to use them. Royal Law does not use an individual's registration to imply that the company itself is authorised by the same regulator. We do not display regulatory badges or official marks in a way that could imply entity-level authorisation where none exists.
International work
Where a matter involves the law of another jurisdiction, local-law advice is provided only by a person entitled to advise on that law. Royal Law may coordinate that work, but the local adviser remains responsible for their jurisdiction-specific advice and professional obligations.
