Working with us feels like
Most clients come to us early. A blank slate, a product taking shape, with or without advisers and a tight runway. We make the legal side predictable.
First, we tidy the essentials: incorporation clean-ups and registers, Companies House filings, a founders’ agreement with sensible vesting, and the privacy and terms your site actually needs.
When you’re raising, we streamline the route from term sheet to money in: clear comments, workable compromises, data room hygiene, and SEIS/EIS advance assurance handled without fuss.
Later, as headcount grows, we design equity solutions properly — EMI or growth shares that fit your cap table HMRC’s rules and align team and business growth.
The tone is practical. Short emails in plain English. Timelines you can plan around. Fixed fees that match the scope you approve.
Most work runs smoothly on video and email updates; we’ll meet in London when it helps.
You’ll deal with a lawyer who has closed rounds, set up options, unwound messy cap tables and answered investors before they spook.
If plans change mid-flight, we’ll scope before we move. No surprises. The result is momentum: clean paperwork, fewer distractions, and a company that looks the part when the right investor, or the right hire, takes a look.
“Working with the guys at Forward Law has been refreshing beyond words.”
