Founders & Entrepreneurs

Business structuring

We specialise in acting for entrepreneurs, owner managed businesses (OMBs) and investors., and while we work across sectors, much of our work is for early stage companies and startups in the technology and media sectors or for those investing in such entities.

If you need advice regarding banking, financing, commercial contracts and on all aspects of running and growing a business in the UK, combine strong technical expertise with a track record in delivering flexible and creative solutions for our clients.

Employment contracts

Your business is only as good as your people. Make sure you have the right structures and policies in place to help you attract the very best in the market, and protect you in case things don’t quite work out.

Immigration and visas

You may be considering how your business will employ people from overseas, or you may be based overseas yourself and looking to relocate in the UK to set up a new business or subsidiary of a parent company. Our team can assist with your immigration applications and have the necessary experience and expertise to ensure the UK start up proceeds as smoothly as possible.

Raising investment

Startups and founders often receive initial investment in an initial friends and family funding round, a seed funding round or a Series A/Series B funding round. We will help you at this early stage, as well as receiving investment by way of an ASA (an advanced subscription agreement) or under a convertible loan note, as opposed to the traditional equity round.

Tax structuring

We advise UK resident and non UK resident individuals, trusts and entities on tax strategies for investing in, establishing, running and disposing of businesses in the UK. We can also advise on the UK tax treatment and tailor structures for non-business assets including financial investments, luxury assets and real estate.
