She dealt with the documentation efficiently and in a very timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Chloe to others in the professional and business communities and I hope that we will have the opportunity to work together again."

Client

I’m an experienced Partner in Michelmores’ Commercial team. I advise a wide range of clients on a spectrum of commercial issues that affect their businesses.

My clients operate in diverse sectors with a focus on the data, intermediary platforms and digital and technology solutions spaces, but I particularly relish working with start-up and scale-up companies in the ecology, sustainability and agri-tech arena. Not only is it an area I feel passionately about personally, but I really enjoy helping these companies develop their ideas with a legally solid foundation, exploring the potential of what they’ve created, and ensuring everything is commercially sound.

It’s a privilege to see a business from its infancy, and to support its growth and success; you really feel an integral part of the process, and are able to advise with a comprehensive understanding of the organisation and its people. That’s one of the reasons why I’m so proud of my involvement with MAINstream – a network created by Michelmores in 2019 which connects business angel investors with high-growth, early-stage companies based in the Southwest, and in Michelmores being recognised by the UKBAA as the Best Legal Team for Early Stage Deals.

I’ve been part of the team at Michelmores since 2015, having previously trained and worked at a London firm.
