Fatchett & Co. Notaries provides specialist notarial services to banks, insurance companies, financial institutions and other regulated businesses dealing with international documentation.
We understand that financial and insurance organisations frequently need documents authenticated for use outside the UK. These requirements can arise in connection with international transactions, corporate restructurings, overseas subsidiaries, financing arrangements, regulatory requirements, powers of attorney, corporate authorities and the execution of documents by directors or authorised representatives.
Our notarial work includes the authentication and certification of corporate documents, signatures and powers of attorney, as well as notarised copies, declarations, certificates and other business documentation. We can work from documents prepared by your legal advisers or internal legal and compliance teams and can help identify the practical notarisation and legalisation requirements for the intended jurisdiction.
We have significant experience of working with FCA-authorised and regulated firms and understand that execution, corporate authority and regulatory considerations can be important when documents are prepared for overseas use. We regularly deal with documentation involving directors, shareholders, authorised representatives and regulated financial services businesses.
We recognise that responsiveness and certainty of process are important to financial institutions. International transactions can be dependent upon documents being executed, notarised and legalised within a particular timetable. Our team is experienced in dealing with urgent commercial matters and can coordinate the notarisation and subsequent legalisation process.
Where an Apostille is required, we offer a next-day legalisation service, subject to the nature of the document and the applicable requirements. We can also arrange courier collection and international delivery where appropriate.
Our objective is to provide a professional, responsive service that fits into the requirements of banks, insurers, FCA-authorised firms, their legal advisers and internal compliance teams.
