2 July 2009
Former Homes Overseas legal columnist John Howell is to close his International Law Partnership firm following a collapse in income, according to Overseas Property Professional (OPP).
The UK-based law firm, which specialised in cross-border legal issues and international property, says that it will start to wind-up from 10 July 2009.
Howell told OPP that his company had written off in excess of £500,000 of anticipated income so far this year, while actual income had fallen by almost 75%. He also said that he had subsidised the firm with over £100,000 of his own money over the last year.
“Over the last few months our clients – and, in particular, our developer clients – have been going bust at a catastrophic rate and many of our other clients are unwilling or unable to pay their bills,” said Howell. “We have, therefore and with great regret, decided to close the business.”
