We share our clients’ passion for big goals, and our mission is to provide pragmatic, actionable legal solutions to make those goals a reality.
Why work with us?
We think differently
For us, the law is about more than just compliance. We empower our clients to use legal strategy to deliver business objectives, mitigate risk, generate value and do the right thing.
We offer the best of all worlds
We combine years of law firm experience (think: deep legal expertise, independence and bespoke client service) with the dynamic, responsive, risk-informed approach of an in-house legal advisor. All at cost-effective rates, as and when you need support.
We apply broad cross-sector insights
We have a wealth of experience across digital health, femtech, biotech, pharmaceuticals, edtech, SaaS and cultural innovation, bringing diverse ideas together to create new legal solutions.
