eSolicitors for International Lawyers

eSolicitors is a global platform. If you are a qualified lawyer practising outside the UK and the United States, you can join under the International Lawyer Terms — provided your country is not on the restricted list and your regulatory body is recognised on the platform.

Applicable Terms​

International lawyers use the International Lawyer Terms and Conditions — always check the current version at esolicitors.com/terms.

Who Qualifies​

You qualify as an international lawyer if:

  • You are admitted to practise law in any country not listed as restricted
  • Your admission was granted by a recognised regulatory or professional body
  • You are in good standing with your regulatory body
  • You are not under suspension or conditions preventing practice

See Accepted Countries and Jurisdictions for the full list of accepted countries and any restrictions.

Verification​

All international lawyers complete manual document review:

  1. Practicing certificate or equivalent (current year)
  2. Government-issued photo ID (passport preferred)
  3. Proof of regulatory body membership (registration number)
  4. Proof of address (bank statement, utility bill, less than 3 months old)

Review takes 2-5 business days. Documents should be uploaded in English or with a certified English translation.

Currency and Payments​

All fees on eSolicitors are in GBP (£). The platform does not currently support multi-currency pricing.

For international lawyers:

  • Clients are charged in GBP
  • Stripe Convert may apply if your bank account is in a different currency (exchange rate applied by Stripe)
  • Stripe Connect availability varies by country — see Stripe's supported countries list to confirm your country is supported before applying

Language​

The platform currently operates in English only. All scope documents, client communications, and service listings must be in English.

Cross-Border Practice​

If you advise clients in jurisdictions other than your home country (for example, an Australian lawyer advising on international contracts), you must:

  • Disclose the jurisdiction limitation in your service listing
  • Note the advising jurisdiction in each scope document
  • Comply with any host-country rules on foreign lawyer practice

International lawyers on eSolicitors most frequently list services in:

  • International commercial contracts
  • Cross-border M&A
  • International arbitration (ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL)
  • Trade and import/export compliance
  • International IP (WIPO, PCT applications)
  • Expat and international family law
  • Foreign investment and regulatory compliance
