Financial Agreements

We advise on banking and venture capital agreements, funding agreements - along with all supporting security documents - for either the investor or the investee company.

Wills, Probate and Trusts

There is often a strong commercial need to organise an orderly succession of the business by "next generation planning". We can advise on this, and making a will is usually the last stage in putting the plan into effect. People make or update their wills to make it easier for those family members surviving, and just as important is the controlled transition of the business to the next generation of family, managers or external investors, in a way which is commercially realistic, and also minimising the potential tax liability on death. Probate is the official grant to the executors to deal with the estate's assets, and Trusts can be used in lifetime or in your will to help effect your wishes.
