As one of the UK’s most significant industries, the legal services sector brings enormous economic benefits to the British economy, with a £22bn GVA contribution each year. As the world starts to move on from the worst effects of the Coronavirus outbreak, UK legal professionals can benefit immensely from partnering with colleagues in foreign jurisdictions to provide the best legal services for their clients.

Law firms also stand to gain from partnering with currency specialists. Given the recent volatility in the foreign currency markets, there is considerable client demand for currency exchange solutions that reduce the downside risk inherent in transacting in foreign currencies and make it easier to send international payments. For law firms looking to differentiate their offering, granting clients protection from foreign exchange rate fluctuations is a fantastic way to provide a value-added service. We work in partnership with leading legal practices to help their clients save money abroad, in addition to supporting the currency exchange requirements of those law firms,
