It is an important international trading partner for many countries, and London is arguably the world’s largest financial center. While the economic downturn affected all the global economies to a varying degree, the UK has shown a steady improvement with falling unemployment and slow but steady growth. Risk factors remain, but for many investors the UK presents a safe haven. And, while part of Europe, the retention of the British pound has protected the UK from some of the major issues facing the Eurozone. At the same time, the UK is one of the United States’ largest trading partners as well as the Eurozone’s single largest trading partner. With an innovative attitude towards business, many UK companies are exploring opportunities, and historic ties, with emerging economies–including those with the shared values of the Commonwealth. With a heritage dating back to the late 18th century, Dentons can work with you throughout the domestic UK and international markets.
