About Us
Our team brings you over 100 sector specialists spread across our offices globally, delivering award-winning, multi-disciplinary expertise through a range of technical backgrounds and experience that has been drawn from industry and regulatory bodies.
We can support every business-critical activity, from investor relations, planning and development to future-exit strategies and identifying key partners for sale or licensing. Our peerless corporate expertise helps to build a compelling story for investors when securing funding, too. But it’s actually the breadth of expertise we can offer that makes all the difference; from developing robust IP strategies to the regulatory support to get products to market, plus all of the associated challenges of building a nascent, high-growth enterprise.
Aligning ourselves to the movement and direction of the industry, rather than the constraints of legal service lines, helps us deliver the kind of multi-disciplinary approach that works brilliantly for disruptive businesses
