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.

Emily MacNiven

Tagged solicitor Emily MacNiven

It was an absolute pleasure working with Emily MacNiven as the lead solicitor for the sale of our business and more generally with Downs as a firm. She was exceptionally efficient, very personable and clearly skilful at her job. She acted very professionally at all times and did a great job at protecting our interests and advising us where necessary while keeping things on track. We always felt reassured that she had everything under control, allowing us to continue to focus on running our business while the sale process was going on. Thank you.
