Services
Commercial Contracts
Contracts are the backbone of business relationships; they are vital when it comes to recording obligations and protecting your interests. We provide expert advice on all contractual matters from drafting one off agreements and preparing precedents you can use time and time again, to the negotiation of heads of terms and execution of commercial transactions.
Corporate Advisory
Establishing a corporate vehicle is more than just a legal necessity, it is a strategic decision for a business' operational success and growth. We assist with all corporate matters including company formation, administration, regulatory compliance including governance, share capital issues, directors' duties and ESG.
Private Mergers & Aquisitions
Transactions involving the combining of companies or the transfer of ownership can be complex and time critical, and it is important to see the broader picture, not just the transaction at hand. With our experience and understanding of the potential impact on your business, we are able to provide clear, actionable advice on how best to proceed, thereby executing your deals with confidence.
Private Client
When it comes to wealth management, your personal affairs deserve as much attention as those of your business. Drawing on both professional and first hand experience, we provide clear and practical legal advice on matters such as estate planning and wills for digital assets, domicile and residency and navigating KYC/AML processes, and can draw on our global network of trusted advisors for additional local support.
Regulatory
Regulatory compliance is imperative for the long term success of your business. We help you adhere to all necessary requirements, with advice on FCA applications, registrations and authorisations and AML, mitigating risk and building trust with regulatory bodies.
Data Protection/GDPR
Data protection legislation sets out to protect individuals' rights with respect to the processing of personal data. We provide specialist advice on all aspects of data protection law, such as compliance measures, data subject rights and claims, international transfers, cyber security and incident response and data breach notifications.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property rights law turns innovative or creative ideas and designs into valuable business assets. Whether you are looking to protect your own position, or avoid the infringement of the rights of others, we can advise on all aspects of intellectual property rights including patents, trademarks, copyright, design and internet domain names.
Tax Advisory
Income and capital is subject to taxation, whether generated by digital assets or more traditional income streams. We advise on the various UK tax regimes, including personal tax, changes of residence, employers' tax obligations, VAT and corporate tax.
Specialist Services
In addition to our core practice areas, we also provide a number of specialist services, which offer unique, cost-effective solutions, that can be tailored to meet clients' specific needs.
Legal Opinions
Many exchanges require legal opinions for projects wishing to list their tokens.
We are able to prepare legal opinions on regulatory compliance including token status under any applicable securities law.
General Counsel
To save you the time, effort and expenses involved in hiring an in-house legal team, we can offer a general counsel service on a retainer basis.
We can help you as your business grows, whatever the challenges you face, and will remain available on a flexible basis as your needs change
Legal Health Check
You might not have involved lawyers before in your personal or business affairs. We can do a fully-rounded health check to identify potential issues.
We will then work with you to find pragmatic and effective solutions, to be implemented on your schedule and to your budget.
"Just wanted to thank you both for your help. You’ve made the whole process much easier than we anticipated.
We would definitely recommend your services to other business owners."
