Western Legal

Western Legal: legal advice for businesses operating in the UK, the EU and internationally

Western Legal is a law firm led by a Solicitor of England and Wales, as stated in its own presentation. Its activity focuses on commercial matters for businesses operating in the UK, the European Union and other international markets. The firm works with fixed fees agreed in writing before any work begins and states that most matters are completed within two to five working days. It does not charge VAT on its fees, so the quoted price is the final price.

The firm states that it responds in writing within twenty-four hours and that some work is completed the same day. Trademark applications are filed within forty-eight hours of instruction. The firm operates remotely and, when a matter requires a hearing with in-person advocacy, it prepares the case and instructs a specialist barrister.
