Mid-market corporate counsel for international investors moving in and out of the UK.
Formation, governance, and the deal itself — covered by one partner team.
Forming UK companies, drafting articles, board resolutions, company secretarial work, ongoing commercial-regulatory advice. We work with overseas investors setting up UK operations and with UK companies expanding into Turkey.
Mid-market private transactions from initial structuring through diligence, signing and post-completion integration. Joint-venture vehicles for cross-border partnerships. Minority growth investments.
Both partners are qualified in England & Wales and Turkey. Both sides of a cross-border deal run under one engagement letter — no separate counsel coordination overhead.
Six service lines within the corporate practice.
Each line is partner-led with sector-specific transaction history. Matters are staffed with the same partner from kickoff through closing.
Choosing the right vehicle (Ltd, LLP, branch), incorporating, drafting articles, allotting shares, opening a company secretarial file. Particular focus on overseas investors needing a UK presence.
Board pack drafting, resolutions, AGM/EGM management, statutory filings, director and officer advisory, regulatory questions across the business.
LOI through SPA. Due diligence coordination, warranty and indemnity negotiation, escrow and earn-out structuring, closing and post-completion integration.
Preparing the company for sale, vendor due diligence, SPA drafting, warranty package, managing competitive processes, closing mechanics.
Shareholders agreements, governance carve-outs, deadlock provisions, reserved-matter lists, exit mechanics. Particular depth in UK-Turkey joint vehicles.
Acting for sponsors and management on investment rounds, follow-on investments, secondary sales, management equity arrangements and exits.
We discuss the matter, identify the deal structure, flag any regulatory or jurisdictional considerations, and outline an engagement model. No commitment until you have a written quote.
A written scope, fee proposal (project or subscription), and engagement terms. Signed within five working days for routine matters; longer for complex cross-border transactions where scope needs more definition.
Articles, SPA, JV agreement, investor documents — drafted by the lead partner, reviewed against the agreed commercial outcome, circulated to the other side within the deal timeline.
Negotiating with counterpart counsel, managing diligence flow, escalating commercial points to the client only where they need a decision. We do not bring you trivial mark-ups.
Signing and closing managed end to end. Post-completion filings, condition-precedent management, and a 30-day post-closing review at no additional fee.
Repeat work, not generalist coverage.
Mid-market private acquisitions and investments. Larger matters by referral or co-counsel arrangement.
England & Wales and Turkey under a single engagement letter — both partners qualified to practise in both.
Every email to a partner is responded to within one working day. Urgent matters with a deadline flagged are triaged same-day.
