Hamsa Hussain Bogenfels Gold DMCC Working with Ignition Law feels like having a trusted team member for all things legal. We won’t be able to move as fast as we do without Ignition. It’s the truth. As an early stage company, the understanding of our needs and the support provided by Ignition has been invaluable Paul Rinne, CEO Gripable Ignition Law has been the perfect partner for our business from start-up through to growth into an SME. They have provided support with shareholding, employment and client commercial contracts as and when required. Highly recommend for Fintech start-ups. Murray Abel, Managing Director Control Now We found the team at Ignition incredibly commercial, business friendly and responsive. Having worked with Ignition for both our pre-seed and seed rounds we were impressed by how they scaled up to meet the challenge, and were able to advise us across a range of areas. A truly exceptional non traditional law firm which has the best of all worlds: top quality leadership and management; superb practitioners; an attitude that anything can be achieved; encouraging development of its people; strong client relationships; and world class response and focus. In addition, the work is always of the highest quality. I cannot recommend Ignition enough. Rupert Tate, CEO Bear Grylls Ventures The Ignition Law team is more passionate and dedicated than any firm we have ever worked with. During our funding round, Jake quickly got to grips with our needs from a legal perspective, but also clearly understood the broader commercial challenges we faced as a start-up. He’s incredibly well organised, always responsive, incredibly focused and above all, a real pleasure to work with! As a result, he has now become a core part of our team. Max Lehnus, Founder & CEO WorldLabs Libby Wood, Lead Programme Manager Saiid Business School Dr Logic recently entered a period of rapid growth and expansion resulting in us needing to develop a new Group Structure. As such, I was looking for a legal practice who could understand the business and walk me through the legal process as well as providing sound commercial advice. I was introduced to Ignition Law by one of Dr Logic's clients and I was impressed with their joined up thinking and quick response, they always came back really quickly whenever I had a question. The legal documentation that we've ended up with is perfect and just what we wanted - and they were very fairly priced. Iain Russell, Founder and Director Russell IP Ltd We’ve worked with Ignition Law with our first startup and they were quick, affordable and professional. Then when Covid-19 lockdown started earlier in the year we decided to build a community support app; vHelp. Ignition Law were incredible in helping us get the legal side sorted with fantastic turn around time. Ignition advised on the purchase of St Peter’s Brewery and we were extremely happy with the way they handled it. It was the first time we had bought an operating company but they guided us through the process in a way that really inspired confidence. Phil and Jon were approachable, super responsive, imaginative and highly professional. They thought of everything and we are extremely grateful for their advice. We cannot recommend Ignition highly enough. Derek Jones, CEO St Peter's Brewery Phil and Lizzy have been wonderful on our seed round fundraising, really understanding our needs as an early stage start-up. They handled the whole process extremely professionally and promptly with a very kind soul. Ignition law have been fantastic. From our very first enquiry they went above and beyond to help and advise us, even before we'd signed up! Always quick to respond and not over complicating things. They were very helpful in and finding practical solutions with a tricky lease.Thanks to their amazing support we are now busy building our new bigger Pilates, Yoga and Ballet Barre fitness studio in Highbury! From the beginning, it felt like we were talking to a keep it real company who were focused on getting us over the line in a way that would be beneficial to us now and in the future. Phil and the team took time to break complex terms down to us, manage all the key stakeholders with us and were willing to iron out any issues along the way in an open and transparent way. A steep learning curve for us, made easier by the Ignition team. Thanks a lot for the hard work! We had some property work that was beautifully handled by Helen Lucas and her team. The value of their effortless expertise was something we will never forget. If you're after honest, straight to the point expert legal advice then these guys are your first call.

Vox was a global firm with multiple entities in three different jurisdictions, making it a complex deal to navigate. Ignition worked very well with our US legal team, and were responsive, diligent, and thorough in all their work; I also felt they “had our back” and were always looking out for our best interests. Where they most impressed was with their commercial-minded thinking: they displayed a great ability to clarify legal concepts for the non-lawyer and then to suggest practical approaches to break through barriers. And they’re good people! We truly enjoyed working with Phil, Lauren, John, and Elizabeth. Colin Reid Chief Strategy Officer What a pleasure for the NHST to be working with Ignition Law. Their expertise and incredible attention to detail has been so important to us. So too has been their friendliness and guidance throughout. Very highly recommended. My case was kindly picked up by Ignition Law as a pro-bono which was very kind of them. I needed so much help in negotiating a contract that was important to me but didn't quite understand. I was given their professional advice on the matter by an expert and everything I didn't understand was explained to me. My thoughts were taken seriously and I always felt that everything was being negotiated for my own benefit. Billy Jenks kindly offered to ring the other party to explain the new terms because it would be kinder on them and this way it wouldn't affect my future relationship with them and everything would be explained better and more coherent over the phone rather than on an email.I believe that I was treated very kindly, and the services they provided were excellent from negotiating on my behalf to explaining everything to me, I was very happy with the outcome. Maya Ghazal Aviation Engineering Student and advocate for refugee rights Ignition Law recently helped me sell Mathigon, a small EdTech startup based in the UK, to Amplify, a publisher based in New York – working on everything from the initial term sheet to due diligence documents and the final share purchase agreement. Helen Gerrard and her team were fantastic, working through weekends, while on vacations, and late in the evening to accommodate different time zones. Under significant time pressure, they managed to quickly assemble a small team covering corporate, commercial, employment and IP law, and help with all the different aspects of the acquisition process.
