Services
Services for US-based clients
Report
We are often instructed by American attorneys on behalf of their clients, and in many cases act, in effect, as local counsel, in the same way that an attorney in New Jersey would work with an attorney in Nebraska. The United Kingdom or Great Britain comprises a number of different jurisdictions - England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Island, and each of the ChannelIslands are separate jurisdictions with their own laws and court systems.
The Lawyer Profile
Report
The atmosphere at Loble Solicitors is more advertising than law: an open plan office with stripped wooden floors, exposed brick walls, and a boss in a black polo neck and slacks. It's just not what one expects from a law firm - particularly not a law firm that boasts the US government as one of its largest clients.
