Foresight has worked with Roger and his team since 1997 when we launched the first technology focused VCT. Since then, we have done hundreds of transactions together simply because there is no one in the funds and tax efficient investment market with greater knowledge. Our confidence in RW Blears remains as high as ever and we look forward to many more years of working together.

Hiring Blears is probably the best decision I have made in the process of launching my fund. Ollie is not only 10/10 as legal counsel but has also become a trusted general advisor, going above and beyond his duties. Could not recommend more highly.

Adam and the team at Blears remain our UK firm of choice, having advised us on multiple UK investments, from Seed through to Series B, and exits for coming up to 10 years. As well as being commercial, solution-focussed and highly responsive, they’re a pleasure to work with. We look forward to completing many more deals with them at our side!!

We’re thrilled to have had the team at RW Blears in our corner as we navigated and finalised the legals for our new fund. Their expertise and dedication have been nothing short of exceptional, truly delivering a “Ferrari-level” service that has left us feeling fully equipped and confident in our LP conversations. We couldn’t have asked for better support!

We have very much enjoyed working with you this year. You’ve been excellent with extremely sage counsel and endless support at every point of a process where Alexandra and I didn’t know a lot! Thank you for being such a great partner and guide.
Jamie Macfarlane

The RW Blears team have been an absolute dream to work with across fund formation, deals and advisory. They helped demystify the process which was so valuable as a first-time fund manager. Extremely grateful to them for going above and beyond at every turn, putting in the hours to meet our timelines and supporting us in a multitude of ways.

The RW Blears team have been a joy to work with from the word go. They’ve driven the fund set up process forward with a level of experience, diligence and genuine care that is rare to find. I am incredibly grateful.

Blears were tremendous support on our Series A round, helping to guide the transaction to its target completion date through both highly responsive advice and helpful negotiation on the key commercial points.

Blears are highly responsive, commercial and pragmatic. Getting the deal done is their priority, and they do it with the least fuss possible while also catching the vital details.
