Clients
We work with ambitious technology companies at every stage.
Whether you’re just starting out, scaling fast, or weighing up your exit options, you’ll get senior lawyers who understand your world.
Who we enjoy working with
Our focus is on early-stage businesses and SMEs because we get a kick out of seeing them succeed, helping them hold their own against enterprise customers, and supporting founders and leaders who are as passionate about their business as we are about ours. And, after decades of practice with exactly these types of businesses, we know where we can add the most value.
No in-house lawyer? No problem!
If you’re a founder or senior leader wearing too many hats, we’ll act as your outsourced in-house team - the legal function you’d hire if you had the time (and budget) to build one. And, better still, we're specialists in many different areas, and have (at least!) 4 times as much experience as your average in-house GC.
Sole counsel? We keep you company.
Being on your own can be lonely, and having no-one to sense check against can be risky. If you’re the only lawyer in a fast-moving business, we’ll slot in seamlessly wherever you need us. Whether you could use a specialist on data protection, M&A, or IP, cover for a holiday or busy period, or just a 5 minute call to double check you're on the right track, we've got you covered.
Legal teams with a knowledge gap.
While our main focus is on small businesses, we're happy to help larger in-house teams and other law firms who need niche expertise - particularly around technology, data and intellectual property. We can work alongside members of your team or directly with your client - either way, you get experienced lawyers who deliver.
Why do we focus on small and medium sized tech businesses?
Tech SMEs are different - agile, innovative and interesting to work with.
The trade off is that most don't have the structured processes that you'd find in a big corporation... and we're fine with that. In fact, that's where we can add the most value.
- We'll take on a compliance project that feels overwhelming and make it manageable.
- We're pragmatic (but firm) when faced with a difficult customer.
- We're unfazed by complex transactions (but not afraid to ask whether a simpler solution might work better).
- We’re here to help you move deals forward, protect your value, and stay sane while you do it.
In short, we pride ourselves in focusing on what will make a real difference. Better still, with our extensive experience working with smaller tech companies, we can help you identify exactly what that is.
