How a notary can propel your international business success

By Nick Dearing, Donald Race & Newton Solicitors.

If your business is engaged in international trade, having access to a Notary on demand is crucial to long term success.

A Notary is a qualified lawyer whose task is to authenticate documents and transactions so that they can be effective in countries outside England and Wales.

With over 50 years’ experience providing notarial services, DRN are the perfect legal partner to support you in expanding your operation worldwide.

There are fewer than 900 Notaries throughout England and Wales, making us one of the few solicitors firms in Lancashire able to provide this service.

Typical tasks for international businesses include:

Dealing with the purchase and sale of land and property abroad Authenticating company and business documents and transactions or providing certificates about the status of a company or the identity of its directors Bills of exchange Registration of trademarks Certifying copies of companies minutes and resolutions Many countries will accept the Notary’s signature and seal as proof of the authenticity of a document. Other countries may require further ‘legalisation’ of a document by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, but again, we are able to assist you with this process.

Our knowledge and expertise allows us to act quickly and effortlessly to prevent you experiencing potentially expensive delays and disputes. Operating on a fixed fee basis, depending on the level of work and the documents required, with DRN you can easily manage your legal costs for international trade.

Whether you have a single requirement or you need our ongoing support we will always be there when you need us. Don’t miss out on any lucrative international tenders by not having the proper authentication of your documents completed ahead of time.
