Looking to expand into Europe?

The United Kingdom remains the favoured inward investment location in Europe, attracting around 40 per cent of US, Japanese and Asian investment. For US companies in particular, the UK is a natural first step into Europe due to the common language and culture. However, differences in legislation, business practices and taxation systems introduce new challenges that require local expertise.
