One thing to always note... and this depends on your country of citizenship/residency. If you want a real offshore, - ie not just a corp in the EU where you can show a presence, it is better to deal with lawyers/formation agents who are not in the same jurisdiction - but preferably operational in the jurisdiction of the offshore of your choice.
In the instance of the UK, a number of offshore lawyers are not actually resident or operating from mainland UK, but from eg.. Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. The reasons for this are kinda basic - the UK (mainland) is not an offshore and legal advisors can have their offices searched and have client data retrieved at the whim of any revenue or related agency - which is not exactly helpful to their clients even tho they may be totally legitimate in their business dealings.
Offshore and onshore are like oil and water - ya never mix jurisdictions
