Who are we?

We are absolutely not your traditional law firm; we're a fusion of the traditional private practice and in-house legal roles, combining top-top law firm expertise with a business-savvy in-house look.

Our clients view us as 'their lawyer' and trust us to form part of their teams. Each lawyer sits as in-house legal counsel for a range of clients, offering you a superb and diverse experience working with businesses at the cutting edge of different industries.

Our client base spans the full breadth of the UK, European, Middle Eastern, and US tech scene, from Fintechs to Edtechs, AI to Fashion, FMCG to EV, and VCs, accelerators, and incubators.

We part of the Founders Forum Group and are plugged into the tech ecosystem by our very nature.

What you want to know

We're working to continue to build an environment of talented individuals with lots of energy to thrive.

We have a beautiful, shiny office with a terrace overlooking Temple Park, Big Ben*, & The Shard. In the office, the team currently offers a free corporate chair massage once a month, weekly yoga sessions, free bike servicing once a quarter, and various other events.

However, we’re hybrid, so you can work from the office, home or Narnia; it's your choice. We just need you to be on the UK tax system. We’ll set you up on a MacBook Pro or Surface Business 5 with a home office allowance, so you have everything you need.

Not only do we have a team of ever-growing entrepreneurial lawyers, but we have some pretty good perks too;

• Competitive salary (We know everyone says this, but we do want the best candidates, so apply, let us know your rate and let's chat)
• Discretionary quarterly profit share bonus + annual bonus opportunities
• “Surprise and delight” gifts for going the extra mile

+ lots more.
