Matters
Ref · Year · Forum- M-2412 2024Corporate & Transactions · Delaware · private
Carve-out of a €610m industrials division, signed in nine weeks.
Acted for the seller on a cross-border carve-out with 41 transferring contracts and two works councils. We indexed every consent requirement before the term sheet, so the consent schedule was a checklist rather than a negotiation.
OutcomeSigned on the original timetable. No post-closing price adjustment.
- M-2377 2024Litigation & Disputes · LCIA arbitration
A supply-chain claim that ended at the disclosure stage.
A manufacturer faced a $88m claim over a four-year supply agreement. We reconstructed the delivery record from freight telemetry and rebuilt the counterparty’s own timeline against it. The inconsistency was in their pleaded case, not ours.
OutcomeClaim discontinued eleven days after disclosure. Costs recovered.
- M-2301 2023Regulatory & Enforcement · Multi-agency · confidential
A three-jurisdiction sanctions review that never became a headline.
Led a voluntary review of a payments group’s counterparty book across the UK, EU and US. Sixteen relationships were remediated and two exited before any regulator opened a file.
OutcomeNo enforcement action. Programme adopted as the group standard.
- M-2288 2023Advisory & Risk · Board counsel
A founder transition handled before it became a dispute.
A venture-backed software business needed to separate a founder holding 22% and a board seat. We wrote the exit terms, the governance amendments and the announcement in one sitting so nothing leaked between drafts.
OutcomeUnanimous board approval. No claim brought within the limitation period.
- M-2154 2022Litigation & Disputes · Court of Appeal
An appeal won on a single construction point.
The first-instance judgment turned on the meaning of one indemnity clause. We argued the clause as drafted, in its commercial sequence, and did not argue anything else.
OutcomeJudgment reversed. £34m award set aside.
- M-2090 2022Corporate & Transactions · London · private credit
A unitranche refinancing agreed across four lender groups.
We ran a single covenant model that every lender group could see updating in the room, which removed the usual month of parallel mark-ups.
OutcomeDocumented and drawn in 27 days.

Roughly two thirds of our work is regulatory and advisory, and the point of it is that it leaves no public record. If you want to test us on that side, the reference calls are arranged directly — no brochure version.
