Incorporating Fortescue Graham & Lloyd

We carry out similar work for our international clients as we do for our domestic clients. In particular, we provide our international clients with the following services:
We find that the most popular areas of work that we may need to cover for clients outside England & Wales are:
We have two Notaries who are able to authenticate documents for use in jurisdictions around the world. Some documents require legalisation by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and we can arrange that. All our solicitors can deal with documents as "Commissioners for Oaths".
We can help make arrangements for representation in the English courts or assist in providing a local presence for you
Hedleys has been involved in the international legal community for some years. Part of that involvement has been in building relationships with lawyers in other jurisdictions, particularly within the European Union. The International Practice Group is an association of independent lawyers, accountants, tax advisers and other professionals who work with international clients - Hedleys has been instrumental in setting up and developing the Group. Through the Group we can offer support and advice in numerous jurisdictions
We have served the international business community throughout our careers and in particular worked with Scandinavian clients. We have staff who are familiar with the culture and language, which reduces the risks of misunderstanding.
To further develop the service we offer we have recently developed a close working relationship with a law firm in Norway - Guide Advokat and together we are able to provide a cross border service for those with interests in Norway and England.
Hedleys has long standing relationships with law firms in other Scandinavian Countries.
"Some of our previous experiences with the legal profession have been a bit hit and miss, but we are delighted with Hedleys. The service Sarah Christmas provides is fantastic – she responds very quickly to our calls, much faster than many firms would. Communication is excellent and we value that very highly as we work to tight deadlines and need regular updates. Hedleys provide the kind of all round business model that our company now needs, and we are happy to recommend them."
Marble Hill Property Consultants"The purchase of a large number of property leases and the freehold was planned against a very tight schedule and deadline. Hedleys operated efficiently, without delays, and enabled us to complete our purchase within our timescales."
Roger Charters Birchwood Asset Management Ltd"I was initially recommended to Hedleys by my accountants, and I have been very impressed with the service I have received. Sarah Christmas handled my property dispute extremely efficiently, responding quickly and patiently to my many emails, and making the whole process stress free. I have subsequently worked with Chris Hughes, who has an excellent eye for detail and ensured the ideal outcome for me. I feel in safe hands with Hedleys – they really are focused on my best interests."
Des Reid"I originally chose Hedleys as they were local to where we lived, and I think the fact that I have used them 3 times in relatively quick succession speaks for itself. During this period I also used another solicitor, and this made me realise just how good the Hedley practice is – they provide swift communication and very professional advice, and have reasonable charges. I would definitely recommend them."
John Derry"I first used Hedleys as they were my Uncle’s solicitor. I developed a confident and positive relationship with Chris Hughes and found him to be effective, efficient and plain speaking. I built up a trust with Chris, which I felt was very important, and I knew that my best interests were being secured. Because we communicated mostly via email this made contact easy for both parties, enabling us to look at formal documents and ratify anything. Above all, I was impressed with the quiet efficiency of the processes and I have absolute confidence in Hedleys."
Richard Williams"I found Hedleys by doing a Google search on local solicitors. I chose them because they responded quickly and were well priced. And I certainly wasn’t disappointed! They dealt with everything in a timely and friendly fashion. They were happy to go the extra mile, and I felt they really fought my corner. They were very personable, good value for money, quick and efficient. In fact, I was so pleased with the service I even sent flowers!"
