International Business
In addition to the service we provide to the London and European insurance and reinsurance markets, we have a clear focus on other areas of international business. Increased investment flows between Australia, the Middle East and Asia have resulted in unique opportunities for the establishment of Australian businesses in the Middle Eastern/Asian region and the expansion of business here. We recognise that international business is a strong growth area and our ability to provide a full service to international clients is reflected through our people, whose reputation and experience speak for themselves.
In addition to our experienced practitioners, Blackstone Waterhouse has also established a strategic network to support client business between Australia, the Middle East and Asia. We have strong contacts within government trade agencies as well as alliances with Hugh Fraser International and other legal service providers. Through this network we are able to access legal and international business consultancy services for our clients from London to Europe, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Asia.
We also understand that a sense of cultural awareness and closely maintained relationships are paramount to the success of business operations in the Middle East and Asia. Our focus is on how best to facilitate this for our clients and we are able to provide advice in a range of languages such as Arabic, Mandarin and French. In addition, we are a registered migration agent and can assist our clients with business migration.
