Launching a technology company requires dexterity, and entrepreneurs seeking to do so face challenges ranging from accessing capital to protecting their intellectual property, from recruiting and retaining top talent through to relentlessly pursuing that first market-validating sale.

Rely on a team of lawyers in the UK that is focused on helping start-ups navigate these challenges, with trusted and rounded business advice to help you achieve all of your goals.

You will benefit from a team backed by a big-hitting global brand, so that quality and experience are assured, who are also nimble and imaginative, so we’re not after the quick, transaction-based buck. Work with our emerging growth company lawyers, who have a track record of seeing businesses through from early stage to exit, being the sounding board and building a relationship of trust and confidence along the way.

Several members of our venture team have spent time in industry and they speak the language of technology entrepreneurs. You will also be well-connected to funders, banks and other professionals so that we can open doors and make things happen, or simply tap our network for insightful advice.

We support you as you expand, using our cost-effective regional base in Milton Keynes, the targeted thought-leadership of our London office, and our overseas network of operations that stretches from China to Silicon Valley. You will receive market-leading experience in all the legal disciplines you might need, covering IP protection and exploitation, R&D and collaboration, confidentiality, licensing, procurement, outsourcing, franchising and distribution, IT, software licensing, data protection, employment, employee incentives, immigration and more.

We work with you as partners to an expanding business, and we try to be flexible with our pricing wherever possible so that costs are known in advance. Above all, be confident that we never lose sight of where a business is on its growth curve, and we seek to make that trajectory as smooth and successful as possible.
