European residency is rarely a single “application” – it is a legal status that must remain valid, renewable, and compliant as your circumstances evolve. Our European Residency Lawyers advise individuals, families, founders, and executives on selecting the most suitable residency route across Europe and managing the full lifecycle: eligibility, documentation, due diligence, applications, renewals, and changes in status. We focus on practical outcomes: lawful residence, predictable administration, travel planning, and family continuity, while coordinating cross-border considerations (including tax, property, and private client structuring) where these affect residency strategy. We also support clients facing refusals, non-renewals, and compliance concerns by building evidence-led responses and escalation pathways.
