Who we are and how to contact us
vsqlegal.com is operated by VSQ Advisory & Capital Ltd ("we", "us" or "our"), trading as VSQ Legal. We are a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16429679, with our registered office at 85 Great Portland Street, London, England, W1W 7LT. To contact us, please email info@vsqlegal.com.
VSQ Advisory & Capital Ltd is not a law firm and is not authorised or regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority or by any other approved legal services regulator. We do not carry out reserved legal activities within the meaning of the Legal Services Act 2007. Some individuals who work with us are separately authorised to provide legal services in their personal capacity by their own professional regulator; where any such individual provides regulated legal services, they do so in that personal capacity and subject to the rules of their own regulator, and not on behalf of VSQ Advisory & Capital Ltd. Nothing on this site is an offer to carry out reserved legal activities, and nothing on this site is legal advice.
