Successful entrepreneurs often want to support younger entrepreneurs and their businesses, both through direct investment and by adding value through mentoring.

We also regularly work with VC funds on larger investments. We are alive to market trends and we aim to provide prompt, commercial advice to ensure you achieve your goals, whatever stage of the business lifecycle you find yourself in, and look to maximise the value, manage the risks and deliver you the best possible result.

We can also advise of the tax risks that are associated with investing and how to extract profits efficiently.

We can advise you on:

• Subscription and Investment Agreements
• Shareholder Agreements
• Articles of Association
• Advanced Subscription Agreements
• Investor Rights
• Tax Reliefs and Incentives
