Our solicitors in East Ham are also able to help entrepreneurs in this area if they need legal counsel on company and business law.

We are a full-service law firm working with lawyers who specialize in many different areas of law. You can talk to a lawyer in UK from our team if you are a foreign national interested in immigration matters, or if you are a foreign investor who has questions about business disputes, corporate law, or data protection and privacy matters. A full list of our services is available upon request.

Seeking specialised legal counsel is advisable in many different situations. We offer professional guidance through your entire process or legal procedures, and you can choose to reach out to us even before you start the needed steps for immigration or divorce, for example.

Our team summarises our primary services for companies and individuals below, however, we encourage you to reach out to our solicitors at any time if you have questions about a particular situation or if you need information on services other than those listed in this article.

Our team works with each of our clients to find adequate solutions to individual problems. We offer legal services and aid to employees who have been wronged by their employer just as well as we are able to provide wills and probate services.

The initial consultation with our solicitors in East Ham is essential to determining the problem and beginning work on a solution. We know that each family or individual story is different, and all most cases cannot be solved based on a “one size fits all solution”.

We offer tailored solutions in the following areas:

  1. Employment law: difficult situations can arise with an employer and if this is the case, it is advisable to seek legal counsel if you are unsure of your rights; likewise, you can reach out to us for a consultation before you sign an employment agreement, to make sure that you understand the legal implications;
  2. Immigration law: the United Kingdom offers attractive employment and business opportunities, however, the UK has left the EU and this can impact one’s situation; our solicitors in East Ham can help analyse your case and provide you with details on the steps that you need to follow for obtaining the right to stay and/or acquiring residency;
  3. Family law: our team is able to assist you with a variety of issues related to divorce and separation, child issues, adoption, the conditions for entering into a civil partnership or cohabitation, among others;
  4. Other services for individuals: we can help you with property and residential issues (purchasing property, residential evictions or tenancy agreements) as well as issues regarding inheritance and making wills.

We offer timely assistance for individual matters, however, for those legal issues that may be time-sensitive, we advise our clients to reach out to one o four East Ham solicitors as soon as possible. For example, if charged with drink driving, one should be aware that this can be a serious offence (depending on the actual circumstances), and that it is advisable to seek legal representation from the very beginning.

For foreign nationals who are already living in the UK, our team can answer important questions about acquiring British citizenship. We can help you understand the residential requirements (along with the conditions for the maximum time spent outside the UK during the five-year period and during the last year of the five-year period), as well as the requirements that apply to minor children (if applicable in their case, when the parents choose to continue to reside in the UK as British citizens).

Living in the UK will often mean that you will be interested in acquiring your own property, rather than continue to pay rent. Seeking specialised conveyancing advice can be important, and our team will answer your questions as soon as possible after an initial evaluation of your intended purchase and your individual situation. Our solicitors also assist investors with commercial property development, as well as with property litigation in a variety of situations.

Regulated solicitors in the UK

Our team complies with the regulations set forth by the English authorities, among which those of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). According to the SRA, which is the main regulator for solicitors and their firms, the current data was available for the years 2022-2023:

  • 223,365 solicitors were on the roll in June 2023 and 161,623 of these were practising ones;
  • out of the June 2023 total, 11 were registered European lawyers and 6,179 were foreign lawyers;
  • in July 2022 there were 216,171 solicitors on roll, out of which 156,518 were practising ones.

The SRA regulates solicitors and the firms they work for, as well as other lawyers (registered European and foreign lawyers, and exempt European lawyers). Non-lawyer managers who work in law firms in England and Wales can also be subject to SRA regulation.

Following the rules set by the regulation authority means that our lawyers meet high standards. The Code of Conduct refers to matters such as maintaining trust and acting fairly, proper conduct in court, adequate and competent services for clients, as well as avoiding conflict of interest, among others.
