Incorporations with articles that actually fit, SPVs structured for the deal, shareholder agreements with real leaver and deadlock provisions, and the heads of terms that make every later document cheaper.
Handled entirely in writing. No hearings, no meetings, no attendance required.
Written reply within 24 hours. Trademarks filed within 48 hours of instruction. Documents in days, not weeks. Never "3 to 5 business days" just to hear back.

| Shareholder / partnership agreement | Leaver provisions, drag and tag, reserved matters, deadlock, the clauses that decide real fallouts. | from £1,650 |

| Share transfers & board approvals | Stock transfer forms, board minutes and filings for a clean change of ownership. | from £395 |

Companies Act and governance work, resolutions, allotments, buybacks and reorganisations, has its own schedule here. Bespoke and urgent matters outside the schedule: £650 per hour, capped estimates in advance. Corporate retainers from £995/month.
50/50 with no shareholders' agreement is the single most expensive structure in company law: perfect deadlock, no exit mechanism, and the friendship as the only dispute-resolution clause. £1,650 now is the cheap version of that conversation.
Nothing, for a company that never raises money, never falls out and never sells. For everyone else, the gaps (pre-emption, share classes, director deadlock) surface at exactly the moments they are hardest to fix.
Yes, cross-border structuring is native ground: the UK entity here, the foreign counterpart coordinated with vetted local counsel, one privileged relationship. See the market entry page.
No, by design. Structuring, drafting and advisory are in scope; completion monies sit with your bank or an authorised firm, and you will be told plainly where that line falls in your deal.
Send a brief outline of your matter. You will receive a personal reply from a solicitor, with a fixed-fee quote where the scope is clear. Payment is taken before work begins; every fee is fixed in writing first.
