Advisory Services
Independent cross-border consultancy from London, with regulated and reserved work clearly separated and handled by appropriately authorised professionals where required.
Corporate & Commercial Advisory
We advise on commercial structures, governance, contractual risk, joint ventures, shareholder arrangements, cross-border transactions and negotiation strategy. Our work may include contract drafting and review where the activity is not reserved and is within the professional competence and permissions of the person carrying out the work.
Scope boundary: We do not present the consultancy as an SRA-authorised corporate law firm and do not undertake reserved legal activities through Royal Law.
Cross-Border Dispute Strategy
We provide early case analysis, chronology and evidence organisation, settlement strategy, cross-border legal project management and coordination with authorised litigators or advocates. This can help clients organise complex disputes before and during formal proceedings.
Scope boundary: Royal Law does not issue or conduct court proceedings, exercise rights of audience or hold itself out as entitled to conduct litigation through the consultancy.
Arbitration Support & Coordination
We support international arbitration matters through case strategy, contract and evidence analysis, procedural coordination, document management and liaison with appropriately qualified counsel. Any advocacy, representation or jurisdiction-specific work is undertaken only where the relevant individual is entitled to perform it and the applicable rules permit it.
International Counsel Coordination
Where local-law, reserved or specialist advice is required, we can help identify and coordinate independent solicitors, barristers, foreign lawyers, experts and other authorised professionals. Unless otherwise lawfully agreed and clearly documented, the authorised professional is retained separately by the client and remains independently responsible for their regulated work.
Private Client & Succession Coordination
We provide cross-border planning support involving family assets, succession strategy, ownership structures and coordination among advisers in different jurisdictions.
Scope boundary: Reserved probate activities, conveyancing, court proceedings and other reserved work are not provided through the consultancy.
Business Compliance & International Project Counsel
We support businesses with commercial legal risk reviews, governance processes, contracting frameworks and coordination of multi-jurisdictional advisers. Where a question falls within a separately regulated sector, we identify that boundary and refer or coordinate the relevant authorised professional.
Services not offered through Royal Law
To avoid any ambiguity, Royal Law does not market or provide through the consultancy: reserved legal activities; immigration advice or immigration services; regulated claims management services; regulated investment, insurance or other financial services; notarial services; or advice on the law of a jurisdiction where the person providing that advice is not professionally entitled to do so.
