“I get to the crux of the commercial issues in order to get the deal over the line”
“I have a lot of cross-border experience. I’m qualified in both Hong Kong and the UK, and practiced for seven years in Hong Kong and a couple of years in Vietnam. I also worked for a US firm for 13 years, and during that time I did a lot of cross-border work for US clients into London/Europe and Asia.
I get to know my clients well, and prefer a collaborative approach to a point-scoring one. My strength is that I pinpoint and get to the crux of the commercial issues in order to get the deal over the line. They appreciate that I’m responsive, get involved in the commercials on the deal, and take the time to demystify jargon for founders.”
Jeremy’s recent work highlights:
Advised Tropic Skincare's Suzie Ma on reclaiming full ownership of the business, assisting in their 50% buyout from Lord Sugar.
Advised the shareholders of Wireless Social, a leading provider of guest Wi-Fi, analytics and marketing solutions to the UK hospitality sector as it becomes part of Access Hospitality, a division of The Access Group.
Advised Dellner Polymer Solutions, part of Sweden's Dellner Group, on its acquisition of high-end engineering supplier Ferrabyrne Ltd, a YFM Equity Partners backed business.
