NEW BUSINESS THINKING

We work closely with entrepreneurs, investors, and high-growth businesses, offering a tailored mix of expertise to help you build a strong foundation for long-term success.

Lifecycle

For ambitious entrepreneurs setting up your own business, our emerging companies team provide comprehensive legal services designed to support high growth businesses and their founders at every stage of their journey. We work closely with entrepreneurs, investors, and high-growth businesses, offering a tailored mix of expertise to help you build a strong foundation for long-term success, from inception to exit.

As your business evolves, our private wealth team often advise founders on the wider family and wealth considerations of business ownership including tax efficient structuring before and after an exit event. We support you with planning what happens after a sale, should you choose philanthropy, or to make the most of new commercial opportunities.

We have the depth of knowledge and flexibility to work with you through mission critical funding rounds, the inevitable regulatory, tax, employment and commercial challenges that come with scaling your business and the expertise that you will need to protect the value that you have created when the time comes to exit. Whatever your legal needs and whichever sector you operate in, our teams provide specialist legal advice for entrepreneurs, their businesses and families.

THIS IS ENTRECONF

Hello and welcome to two days of unrivalled stimulation, inspiration and connections.

Entrepreneurs view the world differently and create new worlds. Entrepreneurialism is about vision and belief. About testing yourself and your ideas. About resilience and persuasion. About seeing an opportunity and seizing it.

And often about the nexus between academia and business, between the theory and practice. Much success comes from connections: people who might open doors, who are generous with their time, people you might well meet today.

So yes, welcome to EntreConf.

And thank you for coming.

GREG INGHAM Founder, EntreConf greg.ingham@mediaclash.co.uk
