Venture capital and emerging companies

Building a business and securing investment can be exciting, but it’s rarely straightforward.

Navigating the world of venture capital and early-stage finance takes more than ambition – it requires clear advice and a trusted partner who understands the challenges and opportunities at every stage.

We regularly work with founders, entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses looking for initial investment, as well as scaleups and those seeking additional investment through Series A, B and C funding rounds. We pride ourselves on providing comprehensive legal support to clients all the way from the inception of an idea to maturity and exit, working alongside our clients and getting to know their businesses inside-and-out to understand the risks and challenges they face and offer strategic advice to enable them to succeed.

From the first conversation about funding through to launch, growth and eventual exit, we’re here for the long term. We take time to understand your goals and tailor our advice to fit your strategy, recognising the risks that come with innovation and helping you manage them effectively.

Our experience spans:

• Early-stage financings, including SEIS/EIS and angel investments
• Structuring and advising on subsequent investment rounds, both from domestic and international sources
• Advising on governance, compliance and shareholder arrangements
• Preparing for and managing successful exits
