Our approach

Responsive, commercial and pragmatic. Getting the deal done is our priority and we do it with the least fuss possible.

A value proposition across the following core domains...

Fund
Establishment

We support a diversified and growing base of emerging and institutional fund managers with a particular focus on the formation, structuring and promotion of GP/LP funds, S/EIS funds, VCT offers and IHT/BPR strategies.

Highly dependable and responsive, we count on a level of technical expertise and market know-how which competes with much larger firms operating in the same market, often for a fraction of the cost.

Corporate Finance

Access to capital has never been greater if you know where to look. Our clients raise funds both publicly and privately, through debt and equity, from their institutional clients, high net-worth individuals, or their customers and the wider ‘crowd’.

We help them maximise and optimise their marketing reach in full compliance with law and regulation.

Investments

Every investment or acquisition is different. Our transaction team cuts through the complexity, delivering straightforward and responsive support from term sheet to deal completion.

Our experience covers tax-advantaged growth investments, multi-series financing, leveraged buyouts, and corporate acquisitions. We support fund managers backing top teams and entrepreneurs turning ideas into value.

Exits

Exiting your business or investment at the right time, to the right buyer, for the right price requires solid strategic advice, awareness of tax consequences, and safe and speedy execution.

We have supported many investee companies and management teams to help return value to those who created it in the first place. This includes preparing companies for sale, pre-sale re-organisations, share and asset sales, as well as secondary buy-outs.

Our clients

Clear advice.
Practical approach.

Whether a seasoned professional fund manager, a solo GP or a scrappy serial entrepreneur we know how to deliver legal advice to our clients in a manner which is coherent, direct and importantly, valuable.

Support that syncs with your strategy

We're not bound by rigid departments or narrow remits. Our team aren’t just there for the big moments. We are flexible where it matters and responsive in the day to day - when it means the most.
