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.
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.

It was my first time working with Ronald Fletcher and I had no issues at all. The whole transaction was well handled with efficiency and transparency. I’d definitely work with them again. A huge thank you in special to Saranya.

Tagged solicitor Arj Arul
I can't recommend Arj and his team highly enough - compared to many other lawyers and law firms I've worked with they're a pleasure: responsive, clear, intelligent, knowledgable, pragmatic, empathetic and humane, and great value for money. The services they've provided in our 'start up' years have been perfectly suited to a small team.

Tagged solicitor Ellie Rigsby
I had a really positive experience with Elliott Mather Solicitors in Chesterfield, particularly working with Ellie Grimsby. From the very beginning, Ellie took the time to listen to me thoroughly and made me feel genuinely heard and understood. She always put my needs first and handled everything with care, professionalism, and a reassuring approach. I was seeking support with matters relating to my business, and Ellie provided clear guidance and support throughout. Her communication was excellent, and I always felt confident that I was in good hands. I’m very grateful for the help I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellie Grimsby and the team at Elliott Mather to anyone needing legal support.
