Legal Consultancy
With 20 years’ experience as a commercial lawyer, having worked with startups, household names and everything in between, we offer an accessible and streamlined legal support service - we are often called upon to put what we call the foundations in place - whether that is to ensure terms and conditions are up-to-date and reflect the nature of the business, negotiating shareholders’ agreement between business owners or founders, reorganising company shares, through class shares, a buyback or a demerger, or expanding via franchising.
M&A, Executing Deals
Having acted on deals valued from £1 to Euro 120m, our track record, taking deals through to completion, is extensive, whether that is via a share sale, asset sale or restructuring exercise. Supported by commercial, data protection and IP experience, we are fully up-to-date with trends to ensure the process, from due diligence to completion runs smoothly.
IP, Brand Protection and Development
With the growth of social media, artificial intelligence (AI) and technology, we are proud to have been recognised for our work in the tech space, supporting this area of our work across many other sectors. By helping our clients to understand their IP, protect its value and enhance their brand investment, we add real value to their success.
Business Mentoring
Taking the time out of your business to assess an issue or plan your future strategy can be invaluable. As a qualified business mentor, we are able to draw on a decade of business ownership, supported by up-to-date qualification and training from ILM: The Institute of Leadership & Management.
