Lewis Silkin is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with VenturePath, the platform supporting high-growth UK tech businesses on their journey from startup to scaleup and beyond.
This collaboration brings together Lewis Silkin’s legal expertise in venture deals acting for both founders and investors (including funds and banks) and VenturePath’s founder-first approach to growth and fundraising. Our venture work is supported by Lewis Silkin’s other key skills it offers as a full-service firm (including, IP, tax and benefits, employment and commercial). Together, the two organisations will provide founders with the tools, guidance, and support they need to navigate the critical stages of scaling a business.
“We have and are working with some of the UK’s most exciting scaleups and the investors in them, and we know how important it is for founders to have the right support at any given time,” said Tim Leeson, Partner at Lewis Silkin. “This partnership with VenturePath allows us to be even more proactive in helping a greater community of founders build strong legal foundations, avoid common pitfalls, and stay focused on growth.”
The partnership will see Lewis Silkin working closely with VenturePath’s community of founders, providing legal insight and support through events, resources, and one-to-one guidance.
Ian Merricks, Proposition Lead at VenturePath, added: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Lewis Silkin, a firm that understands the needs of scaling tech businesses, both from a founders’ and investors’ perspective. Their team brings the legal depth and commercial understanding that founders need to grow sustainably and attract investment. This partnership strengthens our mission to make the path to venture-backed scaleup success smoother for UK tech founders.”
The partnership will officially launch with a founder-focused events guiding founders on key legal and fundraising topics.
