Why choose Advocate Abroad?

Director
When we set-up Advocate Abroad 14 years ago, getting legal services abroad was something of a lottery.
Clients faced a variety of problems from poor levels of English to questionable moral behaviour by some practitioners.
So we set-up Advocate Abroad to ensure standards by checking lawyers’ background, language levels, and competencies...
...and now, having handled over 40,000 enquiries, via hundreds of partners in 20 countries, we think we must be doing something right!
