We’re specialists for the creative, marketing and technology industries.
Strategic Support
We provide day to day strategic support to business owners and decision makers. We help clients come to the right decisions for their business and customer relationships. Our strategic guidance helps clients avoid common pitfall mistakes that too often become expensive problems later on.
Commercial
We take care of the contracts for all your commercial projects and put in place specific solutions to protect your revenue generation and commercial model. Working with you on a retained or just a project-by-project basis, we’ll work together to create new contracts to reflect your new business models, and make your documents clear, certain and industry-leading. We can take care of complex negotiations on your behalf, translating key points into plain English, or just take care of your day to day contract management to free up your time.
Corporate
We help business owners and investors at all stages of the company’s growth. From putting in place the right relationships between shareholders and directors, through to investment rounds, sales and reorganisations.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Our team of lawyers advise buyers or sellers in a wide range of industry sectors, relating to the sale and purchase of a company or its assets. Above all else, we offer pragmatic advice, flexibility and expertise.
Venture Capital
Our lawyers have in-depth experience acting for investors and companies during rounds of investment. We know that closing an investment round can be time-sensitive, so we focus on the key transaction elements, rather than holding everything up by focussing on the unnecessary.
Joint Ventures
We represent your interests in joint venture arrangements, whether as part of corporate joint ventures, limited liability partnerships or contractual joint ventures.
Intellectual Property
We’ll help you understand the scope of your business’s IP, ensure it’s protected, put agreements in place to exploit its use, and help you enforce your rights in the event of misuse. Our lawyers have worked with some of the world’s most valuable brands to protect their IP, as well as start-ups seeking to put in place the right protections from the start.
Employment
We’ll draft employment agreements and handbooks, help if an employee relationship isn’t working out, and negotiate any packages that need agreeing. We can take you through a IR35 review to understand whether you are engaging, or are being engaged, on the right type of employment basis. We help senior-level executives enter and exit their roles, including advising on the entirety of their remuneration package, and assist companies putting in place employee share schemes to build their company.
We can work with your HR teams to ensure that you’re managing your employee and consultant relationships with sound legal and strategic advice in mind. We can guide you through the introduction of hybrid working policies, restructuring schemes or changing terms and conditions of employment. We can assist you with understanding your responsibilities and implementing change to your workforce across jurisdictions.
Data Protection & Privacy
We help you take control of your data by providing you with a greater understanding of your GDPR and security obligations. We’ll help you uphold them – whether for your own internal personal data usage, or for data processing services for third parties. We help clients put in place the policies and systems to ensure data is managed securely and that there is a plan to follow in case data is lost or stolen We explain the scope of a client’s rights to use the data they have, whether for marketing, promotional or transactional purposes.
Dispute Resolution
Not all relationships work out, so we’re here to help you understand, plan, and carry out a strategy to deal with commercial disputes. We can assist you to find a commercial resolution or if necessary to use the courts to enforce your rights.
