Corporate

Our corporate team provides entire business life-cycle advice to companies, businesses, individuals and financial institutions. 

"Building at night with office lights on.

Whether you are looking to set up your first business, need advice on raising capital or are looking to exit or enter into any joint arrangements, we can help.

We focus on achieving the best possible outcomes for your business, helping you pursue opportunities and to minimise risk. 

Your strategic business objectives are as important to us as they are to you. We want to get to know where you are going so we can give you useful advice as part of a bigger picture, flexing our approach to match your needs. We will always balance our legal advice with commercial and practical solutions. 

We act for many well-known brands as well as for many entrepreneurial and family owned businesses. While our clients come from a range of industry sectors, they share the same ambitious qualities. 

We provide investors and expanding businesses with strategic advice on acquisitions and investments, fundraising and finance, branding and IP, people issues, regulation, sale and exit matters.

We advise clients on public and private company acquisitions and disposals, in particular corporate real estate transactions, while also guiding them through investments, due diligence and joint ventures.

For businesses looking to start out, our team can help you chose the right structure for your business, including LPs and LLPs. We can also advise you on corporate finance and fundraising options, including private equity and venture capital transactions. And, when you're ready, all types of exit options.

Our team consists of experienced lawyers well versed in every aspect of corporate transactions, including public company IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, takeovers, Management Buy Outs and Management Buy Ins, company law and regulatory advice.

And if you need tax-related advice, we can advise on enterprise investment schemes, seed enterprise investment schemes and employee incentive schemes.

Testament to the service you will receive from us is that many of our family owned businesses and entrepreneurial business owners also then use the firm for their personal legal affairs. Whatever the issue you will get advice rooted firmly in the commercial world.
