Six areas of specialist expertise, one embedded team.
Strategic legal counsel, legal operations and technology, delivered across the disciplines that matter as you scale. Below is the detail on each area, what we do and what it solves.
Corporate & Corporate Governance
Company formations, shareholder arrangements, Articles of Association, directors' duties, board governance, constitutional documents and corporate restructuring.
Sets a clean structural and governance foundation so the business holds together as it grows, raises and changes shape. Removes the ambiguity around ownership, control and decision rights before it costs you in diligence.
Commercial & Intellectual Property
Commercial contracts, customer and supplier agreements, terms and conditions, licensing arrangements, trade mark protection, copyright, IP ownership and commercialisation.
Protects the revenue and the intangible assets the business runs on. Stops unclear customer terms, supplier obligations and IP ownership gaps from quietly accumulating risk as you scale.
Compliance & Data Protection
GDPR compliance, privacy documentation, data processing agreements, compliance reviews, governance frameworks, regulatory implementation and remediation projects.
Keeps the regulatory side of the business defensible and audit-ready. Closes the gaps between policy and practice before a regulator, investor or customer asks for evidence.
Employment
Employment contracts, consultancy agreements, workplace policies, HR advisory support, disciplinary and grievance matters, restructures, exits and employment disputes.
Lets you hire confidently and exit cleanly. Reduces the cost of informal documentation, unclear policies and rushed terminations before they become tribunal claims.
Fundraising & Venture Capital
Investment readiness, due diligence preparation, term sheet support, shareholder arrangements, governance reviews, SEIS and EIS compliance, and legal support throughout fundraising transactions.
Gets you investor-ready before the round, then keeps the legal side moving without surprises during the transaction. Turns diligence from a fire drill into a checklist.
Financial Services & Fintech
Payment services, electronic money, derivatives and financial markets documentation, including ISDA, CSA and VM CSA Master Agreements, and remediation projects.
Robust documentation, practical advice and expert support, helping you manage risk, execute transactions efficiently and scale with confidence.
