Corporate and M&A

Company formation, investment rounds, acquisitions and the governance work that holds a business together.

Corporate and M&A

What we do

Our corporate team handles the transactions and decisions that change who owns and controls a business. We run deals from the first term sheet to completion, and we stay on afterwards for the governance work that most firms leave to someone else.

Every deal is led by a partner who reads the documents. Associates draft, partners review and negotiate, and you always know who is responsible for the next step.

How a typical transaction runs

  1. Scoping call and a written fee estimate within two working days.
  2. Due diligence with a short red-flag report instead of a long data dump.
  3. Negotiation of the main agreement and the disclosure letter.
  4. Signing, completion checklist and post-completion filings.

After the deal

We draft shareholder agreements that people can actually follow, prepare board minutes for key decisions and review governance once a year so problems are caught before they become disputes.
