Introduction to startup law

I am a qualified solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales and the founder of Buckworths, the only law firm in the UK working exclusively with start-ups and high growth businesses. Buckworths works across multiple sectors, including Technology, Fin-Tech, Restaurants and Hospitality, Fashion and Fashion-Tech, Bio-Tech and Med-Tech, Blockchain, and more. My passion for entrepreneurialism has led me to advise on the countless of start-ups over the last ten years across multiple industry sectors. For several years, I have been a regular speaker at industry events encouraging entrepreneurs to take the next step in their start-up journey. Recently, I also published my first Amazon Best Seller, Built On Rock - the busy entrepreneur's legal guide to start-up success. Advising on the risks and pitfalls to avoid when setting up your own business, I wrote this book to make the complicated aspects of start-up law simple. Available on Amazon and in all good bookstores. I advise founders and start-ups on a range of matters including incorporation, customer contracts and terms and conditions, privacy policies and associated documents, advance assurances for SEIS and EIS, qualifing for knowledge intensive status for EIS, claiming SEIS and EIS, raising investment from angels, accelerators and VCs, trademarks and protecting your IP, option schemes, tax treatment of share grants, and selling your business.
