This area covers creating and growing new businesses, including university or research-driven spin-outs, and the commercial structuring of early ventures. A solicitor drafts and negotiates founders’ agreements, articles of association, option plans, and IP assignments, then helps with funding rounds, investor term sheets, and regulatory compliance. They also review contracts with suppliers, employees, and academic partners, advise on equity splits, and coordinate registrations and filings. The aim is to establish a clear, scalable framework for growth and future exit.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor handles: founder and shareholder agreements, IP transfer and protection, share schemes, funding documents, non-disclosure and collaboration agreements, employee and contractor contracts, and early governance structures. They navigate corporate formation, due diligence for investors, and potential regulatory issues in technology transfer, ensuring robust, defensible structures that support scaling and protect the client’s stake.

Zohaib Masood

Tagged solicitor Zohaib Masood

It has been our pleasure dealing with Zohaib on our first asset purchase which was very time pressured. Zohaib advised us professionally and quickly and we managed to complete within the time required. Throughout the whole process, Zohaib regularly updated us and thoroughly examined the documents advising us accordingly. We are extremely happy with the service provided and will not hesitate to instruct again in future.

Ashley SutherlandKally Singh

Tagged solicitors Ashley Sutherland and Kally Singh

I would highly recommend using Ashley and Kally at Hegarty anytime. Having used both of their services for such a crucial time of my business I couldn't fault them at all. They have been so accommodating to my constant emails and phone calls which at times they must have found bit annoying. I wish them all the best and I will not be going anywhere else for a very long time.

Wesley Thompson

Tagged solicitor Wesley Thompson

I instructed Cartwright King in relation to a compliance issue and Wesley was dealing with the matter. At all times he kept me informed and due to vast experience on knowledge made the journey easy. Wesley got the decision I needed and is worth instructing an experienced solicitor. I would highly recommend Welsey and I have already referred to other friends and they reiterated the above. Once again thank you so much for your help and support.
