About us

Our work revolves around you

Our firm is dedicated to offering practical, agile and direct advice.

We’ll work proactively with you to appreciate the specific concerns of your business and will invest our time to understand your needs. We focus on business context and strategy, as well as specific projects and deals.

We bring insight from the viewpoint of service provider and customer, employer and employee, buyer and seller, law firm and in-house counsel (as we’ve worked for all of them).

We’ll work closely with you to make sure that your business runs smoothly and successfully, using the latest technology with a clear focus on how this can help your needs.

We know first-hand that lawyers can help or hinder. When things don’t go right for you, we will work with you to fix them.

Our goal is to be your long-term legal partner, helping you grow and flourish. We don’t compromise on quality or integrity. That means we will ensure you have the information you need to take good decisions – even if that means delivering a difficult message.

We’ve built a team with a range of different skills and levels of experience. That way, we ensure that you get the right person for the right task. We all share the same goal of delivering what you need, when you need it.

Our focus on training and communication is key to our work and building long-standing relationships. 

In addition to our commercial and corporate work, we have a strong history of partnerships and pro bono work. We also help local businesses with social enterprise initiatives and organise fundraising events and donations to nominated charities.

  • Over 500 hours on Pro Bono work
  • Over 4629 matters worked on
  • Over 520 firm wide training sessions
  • 341 happy clients
