About the firm
Founded in 2004 to serve clients whose lives and businesses cross languages and borders.
Our story
Mizan began as a two-person practice advising families who had moved between countries and found the law hard to follow in a second language.
Today we are a team of 24 across two offices. Our clients range from first-time home buyers to companies trading across three continents, and we still believe the same thing: a client who understands their options makes better decisions.
The name means balance. It is what we aim for in every matter: a fair result, reached with as little cost and conflict as possible.
