When your situation does not fit inside one country.
With UK legal training and a New York attorney qualification on the team, we help individuals and businesses navigate the legal, tax and immigration questions that cross between the UK, the US and the EU.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
What we help with.
Cross-border matters are usually messier than the same matter inside one country, because two (or more) sets of rules apply. The most common ones we handle:
US federal tax for UK-based US persons (FBAR, FATCA, 1040, 1040-NR, expatriation, streamlined disclosure)
UK self assessment and double-taxation treaty positions for dual-status individuals
US immigration matters at the federal level (visa categories, naturalisation routes, status questions)
UK immigration applications: visit, work, business, family, settlement, naturalisation
Setting up a UK arm of a US business (incorporation, registered office, UK tax registration, employment of UK staff)
Setting up a US arm of a UK business (entity selection, state of incorporation, federal tax registration)
International estate questions, including US persons with UK assets
EU-related matters where a UK angle is involved
And other cross-jurisdictional questions on request
WHO THIS IS FOR
Who this is for.
Americans living in the UK who need both UK and US tax advice in one conversation, not two.
British individuals with US ties (family, property, business, prior residence) who need clarity on what they owe and to whom.
Founders setting up a UK or US arm of a business that started in the other country.
Limited companies expanding across borders who want the legal, tax and immigration questions handled in one place.
Anyone whose situation crosses the UK-US line and who is tired of being told "that is not my area."
HOW IT WORKS
Our process.
01
Free 20-Minute Consultation
Tell us where you live, where your money or business is, and where the question sits. We will tell you what we can do directly and where we would bring in specialist partners.
02
Written scope and fixed quote
Cross-border work needs careful scoping; we put everything in writing first so you know exactly what is included and what is not.
03
Action
We handle the UK side directly and the US federal side directly. For US state-specific matters outside New York, we bring in US-qualified partners. For EU matters, we work with EU-qualified counsel from our network.
04
Ongoing or one-off
Some cross-border matters are one-off (a single year's US tax filing, a single visa application). Others (an expat with annual filings on both sides) are ongoing. We support both.
COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQs
Andreea is admitted as an attorney at law in the State of New York. That means we can advise directly on US federal matters and on New York state law. For other US states, we partner with US-qualified attorneys in the relevant jurisdiction.
Yes, for federal returns and for New York state. For other US states, we partner with US tax specialists in the relevant state.
Not necessarily. The IRS streamlined disclosure procedure exists precisely for US persons abroad who have missed filings without wilful intent. Bring the situation to the free call; we will tell you what is involved.
We handle EU matters where there is a UK angle (a UK person or company with EU exposure). For purely EU work in non-UK jurisdictions, we partner with EU-qualified counsel.
