What does your organisation do?

We challenge the conventional way things are done in law firms. No bureaucracy or being passed from team to team, having to explain your problem over and over again. We will stay with you from the start, acting as an extension of your team and project-managing the advice you need to reach your commercial objective.

We understand real business. As business owners, we have first-hand experience in building, selling, buying-back and running our own firm. We’ve been in your shoes and understand your challenges and opportunities like no other law firm can.

Why did you choose to build in Oxfordshire?

We're based in the heart of the City at 16 Beaumont Street and at one of the region's leading innovation hubs, Harwell Science and Innovation Campus. Many of our team attended university here, trained as lawyers here and now live here.

What big problem are you trying to solve?

Our desire to provide a different service is deeply rooted in our own experiences as business owners. We have been in your shoes. We understand the journey – the challenges of starting a company, the complexities of running it, the strategic decisions around selling and even buying back.

This lived experience fuels our approach to providing a service with a difference, allowing us to anticipate and address the common frustrations many businesses face with their legal advisors:

• A lack of transparency: We believe in clear and honest communication, demystifying the legal process.

• Inconsistent quality of services: Our commitment is to consistent excellence across all our interactions.

• Bill shock: We strive for predictable and transparent fee structures.

• Being passed from pillar to post: We offer one central point of contact, ensuring seamless coordination and project management throughout.

• Confusing legal jargon: We communicate in plain, accessible language.

• A lack of commercial application: Our advice is always grounded in a deep understanding of your commercial realities.

We are determined to be different – to provide a service that offers genuine value and a true, long-term partnership. We realised that our branding didn’t reflect these values and principles, so we needed to do something to address this.
