A London law firm with an international outlook

We are a UK-based law firm with a global perspective.

Our clients span diverse regions and industries, with interests, businesses, and assets across multiple jurisdictions. Because of this, much of our work carries an international dimension, giving our lawyers wide-ranging experience in handling complex, cross-border matters in their areas of expertise.

As an independent law firm, we assist individuals, families, and businesses with intricate multi-jurisdictional needs by collaborating with leading advisors worldwide. Over the years, we have built a strong international network of trusted specialists covering every major jurisdiction. By drawing on these established relationships, we bring together the right expertise for each client’s unique requirements—co-ordinating fully integrated teams that deliver technically sound advice backed by local cultural insight.

In many cases, we take the lead role: managing the complexities of cross-border legal work, harmonizing input from advisors in different jurisdictions, and ensuring clients receive advice that is both clear and practical. We also integrate seamlessly into wider advisory teams, working alongside clients’ existing trusted advisors whenever needed. This collaborative and adaptive approach allows us to consistently deliver the responsive, commercially focused service our clients value.

Our team brings international experience and linguistic diversity, enabling us to support clients across cultures and regions with ease. Based in the heart of the UK, John Howells Legal Firm combines local strength with global reach, ensuring our clients benefit from world-class expertise, wherever they are.
