Corporate & Commercial.
Ownership, governance and transactional arrangements for private‑capital and growth platforms.
We act as corporate counsel to private‑equity‑backed portfolio companies, founder‑led growth businesses, alternative credit platforms, fintechs and capital‑intensive energy and infrastructure businesses.
Our focus is on ensuring that equity, control, incentives and strategically material commercial contracts work seamlessly with the capital structure and exit plan of the business.
What we do.
M&A and private‑equity portfolio transactions
Buy‑side deals, bolt‑on acquisition programmes, consolidations, minority and growth capital investments, and exit preparation.
Governance and ownership frameworks
Shareholders’ agreements, joint ventures, co‑investment structures, board governance and control matrices, reserved‑matter frameworks.
Management and incentive structures
Management equity and incentive plans, growth and hurdle share arrangements, ratchets, rollovers and waterfall design.
Commercial and platform structuring
Commercial contracts, distribution and platform agreements, technology and SaaS frameworks, and corporate structuring for regulated businesses.
How We Add Value.
Control‑first thinking
We start from who should control what, when and how, and then design documentation around that model.
Sponsor‑side experience
We are used to executing for sponsors, buyers and boards under tight timetables and with clear value‑creation and exit metrics.
Integrated capital and corporate advice
Where capital structure becomes material, we work seamlessly with our finance colleagues to align financing and ownership architecture.
Focus and selectivity
We avoid commoditised mid‑market work and high‑volume general commercial mandates, concentrating on transactions and frameworks where capital and control are genuinely at stake.
