Our award-winning corporate lawyers advise entrepreneurial start-ups, fast-growth companies and substantial groups in the UK and overseas.

We assist corporate clients from their incorporation in achieving their equity fundraising goals, including by means of EIS and SEIS, through to IPO and beyond. What defines our clients is their requirement for a high level of partner involvement, a willingness to be commercial and practical, and service delivery through small focussed corporate teams spread across London and the South East. We are delighted that our clients feel able to say that we are “Quick, knowledgeable, pragmatic and efficient” and that we “work as a strong team with excellent communication and high technical competence and are very responsive”.
