Mid-market

We're passionate about supporting companies get to their next stage. Whether creating a skilled and flexible workforce, looking for funding to fuel growth, or expanding internationally, we can help.

Mid-market businesses are in a strong position to prosper in today’s uncertain environment. Unlike smaller businesses, they have often navigated upheaval successfully before. Equally, they don’t have the strict operational structures of corporates, allowing them greater room for maneuver.

We see the mid-market as the beating heart of the economy. Dynamic yet experienced, ambitious yet mature – these businesses continue to expand, innovate and grow.

Our expertise, approach and passion for the sector mean you can be confident you're working with legal advisers who understand you and will support you at every stage of your journey.

Our lawyers

For each mid-market business, we build an experienced team from across the firm, bringing together sector and business expertise to develop the solutions for the challenges and opportunities you face.
