Intellectual Property Consultany
This service is dedicated to help UK businesses identify, protect, and commercialize their crucial intangible assets—a core requirement for competitive modern companies. Our process begins with IP Asset Identification and Audits, conducting thorough reviews to pinpoint all current and potential intellectual property, including trademarks, copyrights, design rights, and confidential information, within a client's operations. Following identification, we develop a comprehensive Protection Strategy, advising on the appropriate legal mechanisms such as registration, contractual protections, and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to safeguard IP both in the UK and internationally. Furthermore, we support Commercialisation and Licensing by drafting and reviewing IP licensing agreements and assignment deeds, ensuring clients achieve maximum financial benefit while mitigating infringement risks. Finally, we integrate into corporate transactions by providing IP Due Diligence (for M&A), which involves a preliminary assessment of a target company's IP portfolio during a potential merger or acquisition.
Corporate Governance and Compliance Advisory
This essential service is designed to help private companies, particularly those preparing for or seeking external investment, establish the robust legal and structural frameworks required for transparent and effective management. We begin by advising on the optimal Corporate Structure and Documentation for a UK entity, such as a private limited company or LLP, which includes drafting and reviewing key internal documents like Articles of Association, Shareholders' Agreements, and Partnership Deeds to clearly define all roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes. Our consulting extends to Board and Shareholder Relations, where we advise on best practices for board meetings, compliance with the UK Companies Act provisions, and fulfilling crucial director duties (including fiduciary duties). Finally, we assist with Stakeholder Management, helping clients develop frameworks for ethical conduct and social responsibility that address the interests of all stakeholders, moving beyond a purely shareholder-centric governance model, in line with modern legal principles.
Corporate Finance and Fundraising Consulting
Leveraging our advanced knowledge of Corporate Finance Law, this service is designed to support companies in structuring investments and strategically managing their capital requirements. We offer detailed Capital Structure Advisory, consulting on the legal implications of different methods of raising finance, such as debt versus equity, and navigating complex routes like angel investment and venture capital funding. This involves advising on the precise legal documentation required for issuing shares (equity finance) or securing loans (debt finance). Furthermore, we provide critical Legal Due Diligence Support (Financial), assisting clients in preparing documentation and addressing queries from prospective investors, which includes verifying titles, reviewing existing contracts, and ensuring overall regulatory compliance. Finally, we handle Security and Guarantee Documentation, which involves drafting or reviewing the legal instruments related to taking or granting security over assets to secure a loan.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
Our Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Transaction Support service is focused on navigating the critical pre-transaction stages and managing the essential legal documentation required for successful corporate restructurings, sales, and purchases. We provide expert Transaction Structuring Advice, consulting on the legal pros and cons of an Asset Sale versus a Share Sale and the crucial impact of each structure on liabilities and tax implications. We then assist with the critical initial paperwork by drafting Heads of Terms or Memoranda of Understanding (MOU), which set the framework and key non-binding terms for the potential deal. Furthermore, we manage the legal aspects of Legal Due Diligence Coordination, including creating and organizing secure data rooms and facilitating the secure and efficient flow of legally sensitive information between the buyer and seller. Finally, we offer specialized consultation on Warranty and Indemnity Strategy, advising on the drafting of these protective clauses within the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) to safeguard the client's interests post-transaction.
Sustainability Advisory Services
In addition to our core services, we provide strategic Sustainability Advisory Services, helping companies transition from mere compliance to active value creation through environmental and social responsibility. Our consulting includes advice on implementing effective Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks that align with stakeholder expectations and investor requirements. We assist in identifying and mitigating sustainability-related legal risks, developing responsible supply chain policies, and integrating ethical conduct into core corporate governance structures, ensuring the business is not only compliant but is strategically positioned for long-term resilience and positive societal impact
Equality and Diversity (E&D) Strategy and Compliance
Leveraging our expertise informed by Human Rights Law, we offer comprehensive Equality and Diversity (E&D) Strategy and Compliance services to UK businesses. Our support begins with Policy & Compliance Audits, where we rigorously review existing E&D policies, staff handbooks, and recruitment processes against the Equality Act 2010 to identify and mitigate areas of potential indirect discrimination risk, recommending practical policy adjustments. We further specialize in ESG & Governance Integration, advising boards on fulfilling their ethical and social responsibilities by embedding E&D standards, including Modern Slavery Act (MSA) compliance, into the company's broader Corporate Governance framework and Sustainability/ESG reporting. This includes consulting on supply chain due diligence and drafting the mandatory annual Modern Slavery Statement (for in-scope companies). To ensure cultural adoption, we provide Training & Awareness services, which involve designing and delivering high-level training to senior management on the principles of non-discrimination, unconscious bias, and spotting modern slavery red flags. Finally, for multinational clients, we offer Overseas E&D Strategy consultation, helping UK companies with international offices align their global E&D policies with international best practice, such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
