Find a lawyer abroad

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides lists of English-speaking lawyers abroad to help British nationals find the legal support they need.

You can find lawyers:

  • by country or a more specific location
  • with a particular area of legal expertise

All lawyers on the lists have confirmed they can provide services in English.

If you need a notary (a type of lawyer qualified to confirm that legal documents are authentic), you should use Find a notary abroad.

Warning You should do your own research before deciding which provider to use. You may also want to check if any insurance policies you have include legal cover before you contact a lawyer independently.
