Acquiring or setting up a business in a new country is never easy. A new culture must be understood, legal and tax regulations complied with and if the business is part of a large corporate group, additional complexities will almost certainly be involved.  You also need to look after your people if they are relocating too.

Littlejohn has a long track record of advising successful international businesses. Our team of 31 partners and 130 staff is based entirely in our offices in London’s Canary Wharf, giving clients access to a close-knit team of experts who deliver services efficiently and effectively. 

Working with inward investors ranging from branches of overseas businesses to subsidiary companies of multinational organisations, we advise at all stages of the business lifecycle – from planning and start-up to UK consolidation and expansion.  Our specialist tax advisers ensure that the personal tax and wealth management of businesses’ UK directors and managers, and their families, is taken care of.

Businesses looking to list on the London capital markets can call on our expertise in bringing companies to London’s AIM and PLUS markets from all over the world – particularly the Middle and Far East (including China) and North America.  And our renowned insurance industry team can advise both national and international clients across that sector.
