Globally, a growing weight of private capital is moving to non-control investments, particularly into tech, energy markets, biotech and other emerging industries. We work with investors, businesses and founders across the life cycle of start-up, business expansion and liquidity, providing strategic counsel.

Our venture capital and growth teams work across the UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australian markets and regularly advise on transactions involving cross-border investments from or into the US.

We have a deep and established practice acting for entrepreneurial and high growth start-up and scale-up companies particularly in the tech and new energy sectors corporates. We also regularly act for investors, including venture capital firms, private equity houses, family offices and corporate venture arms of major companies on venture capital and non-control private investment.
