I am immensely grateful to David at Capital Law for his exceptional support during my redundancy process. His expert knowledge in employment law, coupled with a compassionate approach, made a potentially challenging time much more enjoyable.

Terrafend is a fast growing, venture capital backed sustainability company. Consequently, many of our transactions are diverse in nature and have tight execution timetables. In Sarah, we found the ideal legal counsel to guide and support our business growth. She has a strong understanding of corporate finance, great attention to detail and an innovative and pragmatic thought process – imperative for early stage businesses who have to ‘get things done’, without compromise and to the highest possible professional standards.

I can’t recommend Capital Law enough if you are selling equity in your business. The team led by Gareth Williams-Davies were thoroughly professional and were able to offer a commercially balanced view on all aspects of the transaction. The breadth of skills within Capital Law allowed Gareth to bring in specialist colleagues when required and I could not have been represented better. Gareth’s calm and experienced tone was a great advantage during some of the trickier negotiations and he was a significant factor in completing the transaction.
