Explore what we do

Commercial & legal support - tailored to scaling businesses

We are a pair of highly experienced commercial lawyers who ‘cut our legal teeth’ in the.com era, supporting entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses. Since then we’ve supported entrepreneurs across a wide range of emerging technologies. We do business and commercial law differently.

How do we do things differently?

We support entrepreneurs through the life cycle of their venture through a blend of legal and commercial support. We focus on working with clients to launch their business, raise capital, scale and ultimately exit their venture. 

With over fifty years of combined experience and decades spent previously working in traditional solicitors practices, we knew the traditional legal services model was ‘broken’ when supporting startups. Simply put, it was too expensive for early stage companies to retain the support of a commercial adviser and lawyer throughout their growth journey.

Tailored Commercial and Legal Services

Our commercial-focused legal support services are tailored to our experience setting up and working with, and within, fast-growing tech startups. We know the importance of blending robust commercial support with legal guidance. 

We are on hand to manage your commercial and legal requirements from the ground up, removing the bumps ahead before you hit them! Leaving you to focus on running your business.

There are no hourly rate estimates… Whatever your business type, we only provide our clients with fixed-fee legal support, whether negotiating, drafting, reviewing or closing your commercial and legal matters out for you

Our three core pillars are transparency, certainty, and great value of peace of mind. We operate from a flexible working hub at Liverpool Street, London, to service clients across London, the South East and the wider UK.

Client Love

The Forward Law team have supported my business and myself for over seven years. Their practical and commercial approach to legal consultancy is refreshing compared to the legal services I've received from many top tier city firms.
Mike Watson - Tube Tech International Testimonial
I have never worked with such a responsive legal practice. David and Stephen are our go to advisers for all commercial legal matters. We are always delighted with their response times and work ethic. As an accountancy firm they are also our go to recommended advisors for the start-ups and fast growth companies that we work with.
