By listening carefully, working closely and moving swiftly, we provide sophisticated and pragmatic advice to a broad range of clients – from start-ups and disrupters with unicorn ambitions to global corporates harnessing technology to evolve and transform.

Our experts offer their insight and expertise to businesses in AdTech, data and digital content, artificial intelligence, cyber security, FinTech, agritech, blockchain, EdTech and gaming spaces.

Trust us for advice and practical solutions on contentious and non-contentious issues, including commercial contracts, corporate journeys from inception to IPO, data protection and privacy, outsourcing, intellectual property (IP), corporate finance and tax. We regularly support clients on international challenges concerning licensing, IP, distribution, corporate deals – and much more.

Big ideas, personal approach

Turning big ideas into reality often involves risk. But we’re ready to turn challenges into opportunities with a combination of extensive expertise and a personal touch – helping scale-up businesses raise funds and evolve in exciting new ways.

With our miventures package of tailored legal services for scale-up businesses and mainstream angel investment network, we connect tomorrow’s big ideas with the advice, people, and funding, that make them happen today.
