London Start-ups and Seed Fundraising Lawyer

We understand how exciting and how daunting setting up your business can be. We are deeply involved in the startup ecosystem in London and can help guide you through the various pitfalls that inevitably emerge for entrepreneurs as they begin their journey, with the longer-term strategy always in mind.

Whether it’s incorporating your company, raising your first round of investment, hiring your first employees, establishing your option pool or signing your first big contract, we are here to help nascent businesses get off to the best possible footing;  we offer a deeply personal service, working with startups every day and truly understanding the pressures and needs of early stage businesses. We offer transparent pricing and fixed budgets for each project where possible and take the time to get to know you and your business so we can give you the very best support.

When it comes to investment, we know what the market expects from an early-stage investment round and we know how to deliver it. We also have over a decade of experience advising on investments from SEIS, EIS and VCT investors. These tax-efficient regimes are a great source of capital for early-stage businesses and we know how to ensure the investment meets the criteria set by HMRC.

We are proud of our various associations with accelerator programming over the years, including Accelerator Academy, Bethnal Green Ventures and PwC Raise. Our team regularly provides training to tech entrepreneurs on their journey to investor readiness.

We believe in and thrive on our longstanding relationships with our clients and take great joy in joining your journey as you grow your business.
