British Legal Expertise.
Wherever You Are.
British solicitor Paul Martyn Lindsey LLB provides clear, practical legal guidance to individuals and families in Canada, the United States and beyond who have legal interests in Britain.
British affairs don't stop at the border.
Living thousands of miles from Britain can make even a relatively straightforward legal matter feel considerably more complicated.
A family estate may need administering in England. A parent may have left property in Britain. You may own a British property yourself, need to consider your Will, or simply require a solicitor who understands the British legal system while appreciating the practical realities of living in North America.
Transatlantic Legal exists to bridge that gap.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, British solicitor Paul Martyn Lindsey LLB provides personal, practical guidance to clients whose lives, families and assets cross the Atlantic.

What clients have said.
"I inherited a flat in England and had no idea where to begin from Vancouver. Paul coordinated the valuation, the sale, and the transfer of proceeds with patience and clarity. Everything was explained in plain English throughout."
"When my mother passed away in England, dealing with her estate from Toronto felt overwhelming. Paul guided me through the probate process step by step and handled the paperwork with the British authorities. I never had to travel back, which made an difficult time considerably easier."
"After moving to Calgary from England, I was unsure whether my UK Will still covered everything. Paul explained it clearly and helped me put a British Will in place that works alongside my Canadian arrangements. It was a relief to have it properly sorted."
One family. Two countries. Two legal systems.
"My parent has died in Britain, but I live in Canada."
"I've been named executor of a British Will."
"I inherited a property in England."
"I live in North America but still own assets in Britain."
"Our family is split between Britain and Canada."
"I need a British solicitor but don't know where to begin."
These are precisely the sorts of circumstances in which having British legal expertise closer to home can make a considerable difference.
