Finalist for Best Legal Team for Early Stage Deals

In recognition of our work advising entrepreneurs, emerging companies and investors on the investment lifecycle, we have been selected as a finalist for the Best Legal Team for Early Stage Deals award at the UK Business Angels Association Angel Investment Awards 2025.

This award recognises the legal firms that have made a significant impact on the ecosystem during the past year, both through actively supporting angel and early-stage investment deals and bringing tangible value to the investment process.

The UKBAA Angel Investment Awards celebrate the high growth and success of the angel and early-stage investment market, recognising the fastest growing brands and acknowledging the founders, angels, crowd funders and early-stage venture capital investors behind them.

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony taking place at The Brewery in London on Thursday 10 July.
