Ben is a long-term expat and New York lawyer focusing on issues of international business law, general cross-border legal and business strategies, and international relocation. Additionally, he has a background in operations management and cross-cultural management, which allows him to bring a unique perspective to all of his work. He is also a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. He speaks English, Spanish, and French.

Originally from Missouri, Ben currently resides in the United Kingdom (for the second time) and has previously lived in France, Vietnam, Myanmar (Burma), India, and Argentina. In addition to his own personal experiences, Ben has assisted friends, family, and clients from the U.S. with moves to various countries. As a result, he has intimate knowledge of the various options which are available to US citizens (as well as citizens of other countries) including niche and lesser-known options that are not widely publicized or are impossible to find online.

As a lawyer with significant experience in international moves, Ben can also assist you in navigating the often complex visa requirements, providing interpretations, and conducting any necessary legal research to clarify ambiguities in laws, look for loopholes, etc. He is also able to assist in creating visa applications and necessary support documents for any country.*

Furthermore, in addition to helping LGBTQ+ individuals and others in general, Ben’s experiences and knowledge enable him to provide specialist advice to other lawyers and members of regulated professions seeking to move abroad. If you are a licensed lawyer or other licensed/regulated legal professional (such as a Legal Executive in the UK), please visit Ben’s Legal Professionals page to book your initial consultation.

This is a one-hour consultation with the option for further consulting work to be done.

* Services related to visa applications for countries other than the United States cannot legally/ethically be considered “legal work” and are, therefore, offered on a general consulting basis.
