Hiring an English-speaking lawyer to protect your interests when you buy property abroad has just got easier with the launch of a London based international law firm.

The legal team at Kobalt Law, which opened for business at the start of February, includes foreign lawyers from a range of popular destinations, including Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria, Brazil and North Africa. Between them, Kobalt Law’s lawyers speak more than 15 languages and most are qualified in more than one country, some as English solicitors. Needless to say, all speak and write English fluently.

The firm is headed up by Senior Partner Stefano Lucatello, who has many years of experience in the international property sector. He said: “It has taken substantial investment to get Kobalt Law LLP off the ground, as the world markets have conspired against us, but we have made it and launched a very useful tool, which clients can take advantage of and so receive a full law service, covering English and foreign law. We hope to create a very strong brand, which will be recognised across the world, within a short time. Our expert team of lawyers from many countries provides specialist law advice quickly and at a reasonable price.”

Based in the City of London, Kobalt Law’s services, in English and International law, range from business and property law to litigation and insolvency advice. For further details visit www.kobaltlaw.co.uk or email info@kobaltlaw.co.uk
