Find out who may lawfully act for you — before you pay anyone

Residency and citizenship by investment attract more unlicensed intermediaries than almost any other legal market. This directory records, for every entity listed, what a register says about it: the company, the right to practise, the people named, and what the entity does itself rather than instructs out. We publish no ratings and sell no positions.

Named lawyers

Who is regulated here

The contracting entity is a UK limited partnership and is not itself entered on any bar roll — no bar registers partnerships of this kind. The regulated professionals are the individual advocates named above, each on the roll of their own jurisdiction. That is why the «right to practise» check below stays open on this entry: it is a question about the entity, and the honest answer is that it does not hold one.

Ownership & disclosures

This firm is under common ownership with the publisher of this directory. It is held to the same evidence rule as every other entry — which is why it currently sits in review rather than verified.

How is an entry verified?

  1. Identity. Legal entity and company number, matched to the trading name used publicly.
  2. Right to practise. Bar admission for law firms; programme-unit licence for agents. We link the register entry, not the firm's own claim.
  3. Named individuals. At least one admitted lawyer named, with certificate number.
  4. Scope. What the entity does itself and what it instructs out — stated on the entry.
  5. Re-check. Every entry is re-verified on a 12-month cycle; the date on an entry is the last successful check.

We publish no ratings, review scores or star counts. Where a firm's own materials make a claim we cannot source, the claim is omitted rather than repeated. Full method.

How do you get matched to a firm?

Your enquiry goes to up to three verified entries covering that jurisdiction. We are not a law firm and give no legal advice. No fee is charged to you, and firms pay nothing to receive it.

Questions

Who is listed in this directory?
12 entities working on residency and citizenship by investment across 6 jurisdictions: law firms, agents licensed by a programme unit, and advisory firms. Each is labelled by type on every page it appears on, because an agent licence is not a right to give legal advice.
How is an entry checked?
Against seven checks, each tied to a register held by someone other than the firm: the legal entity, the right to practise, the certificate number, at least one named individual, that individual's admission, indemnity cover, and what the entity does itself rather than instructs out. 8 named lawyers are listed, of whom 2 are traced to a register today. Entries are re-checked on a 12-month cycle.
Do you rank firms or sell placement?
No. There is no paid tier and no editorial ranking. Order is generated from two published numbers — how much of a practice is on the record, then how much of it a register confirms — and the formula is on the method page. The publisher's own entry is scored by the same function.
Which registers do you use?
7 at present, including bar rolls and government programme units: the Portuguese and Cyprus bars, the Chamber of Advocates Malta, the Athens Bar, the Unified Register of Advocates of Ukraine, the Citizenship by Investment Units of St Kitts & Nevis and Dominica, and UK Companies House. Links to a register are ordinary followed links; links to a firm's own site are not.
Is this legal advice?
No. The publisher is not a law firm and gives no legal advice. The directory records what a register says, so that a reader can check a firm before instructing it.
