We are start-up lawyers in London, here to help you overcome the ‘motion paradox’ whereby high growth companies become victims of their own success by scaling so quickly that they are forced to take a step back or put their plans on hold while they implement the proper structure and governance. As an entrepreneurial start-up ourselves, we understand first-hand the importance of a clear and structured operational and legal strategy.

Human
Resources
The Motion Paradox team can help you audit your company’s HR practices and procedures to help identify potential perils and pitfalls.
Due
Diligence
At some point, you may decide either to sell a stake in your business to raise capital, or even sell the business as a whole. Any purchaser will no doubt have a lot of questions, and their lawyers will too. Will you be prepared to answer them?

Risk Analysis
& Mitigation
The Motion Paradox team can help analyse your business risks, identify the areas where the risk exposure is high and make recommendations of how to better mitigate those risks. Insurance is one such tool to mitigate risk.
Corporate Governance
& Company Secretarial
Corporate governance and company secretarial work may not sound like the most glamorous or exciting undertaking, but both are essential in order to comply with requirements set by Companies House and HMRC.

Intellectual Property
Protection
Intellectual property, as much as tangible property, has a value, and often a very high one, but only if it is adequately protected in all jurisdictions where it is being used, or intends to be used.
