The Maples Group offers a unique advantage for clients who require a third party to accept legal proceedings on their behalf. Our UK Process Agency services are managed by a dedicated team, who are able to guide you through the appointment procedure and customise documentation to suit the terms of a particular transaction.
We can accept legal proceedings on behalf of a party that has submitted to the jurisdiction of the local courts, but does not have the ability to accept legal proceedings itself within that jurisdiction, or where a counter party requires a party to appoint an institutional process agent.
Our Process Agency services are available, whether or not our lawyers are advising on the relevant transaction, or other services are being provided by our affiliates.
In addition to accepting service of process issued through the courts of England and Wales, we may also accept notice of commencement of arbitration if specifically requested.
We provide convenient and timely support to clients around the world, including outside of normal UK office hours where necessary.
Maples and Calder's process agency service is a frictionless procedure run by a dedicated team with substantial experience, supported where necessary by our lawyer teams. Our pricing is materially favourable compared to competitors. The responsiveness and availability of our team reflects the ethos of our lawyer teams.
