Silk Law Consultancy engages its experience and expertise in global commercial matters to assess and assist with commercial client’s needs and ambitions. If a particular expertise is required, Silk law consultancy provides direct access to one of our specialist consultants or counsel who can deal with a client issues on an immediate basis to provide advice and options. We are all about finding solutions for our clients. We operate on a similar basis to barristers in England, who constitute a separate and independent legal profession and individual lawyers that offer their services to law firms, corporations or individuals on a direct access basis. It is important to emphasise that we do not just assist clients in contentious dispute resolution situations but also in all aspects of assessing and planning cross-border investments, project and business development. We can assist from the planning stage, through the negotiation and contractual stage to the operational stage and completion of the project.

Our consultants are based in Xi’an, Shenzhen, Hong Kong SAR, London, Geneva, Zurich, Paris, the British Virgin Islands and other Caribbean jurisdictions, but our network is global accessing the EU, International arbitration centres, common-law jurisdictions and offshore jurisdcitions.

Our clients include lawyers who require specialist assistance or particular matters to improve their offering and service to their clients, banking, accountancy and financial professionals who need advice for themselves or their clients and direct access from corporate clients and individuals. We are often providing advice and assistance to clients in one particular jurisdiction who are wanting to trade or have encountered cross-border issues.
