International Overview
Among the distinctive features of Hill Hofstetter is the range and depth of international experience in each of our practice teams. This is in terms both of our representation of clients headquartered overseas, which comprise over 80% of our business, and of the experience of our lawyers in cross-border transactions, disputes and projects.We greatly value the relationships we have built over many years with a large number of major international companies, in particular from the USA, Germany and France. Typically those clients like our unstuffy approach and our commitment to understand their businesses and integrate our services with their business culture and objectives. Aside from specialist language skills which enable a number of our lawyers to provide services in fluent French or German, we also understand the cultural bridging needed to meet the needs of our internationally based clients. We see ourselves as part of the international, not just the UK, economy.
We see our expertise and track record in handling international assignments as increasingly key to the service offered by our practice teams as our clients develop and manage their operations on a global basis. Our lawyers’ specialisms range across overseas tax planning and structures, international arbitration and asset recovery, cross border M&A, multi-national HR projects and international agency and distribution arrangements and disputes. We have long established relationships with many lawyers and firms in other jurisdictions who we can call on to help us and our clients quickly and cost-effectively.
