Mark, Edie, and the team were excellent throughout our software company demerger. At the outset, the scope of work was not entirely clear, but they took the time to explain the legal aspects of the process and provided a clear shopping list of the documents that might be needed, together with quotes for each item. This helped us understand the importance and cost of each piece of work and decide what to prioritise and in what order. They then supported us with key documentation, including a new EULA for one of the newly created company's products and novation agreements to transfer customers and suppliers to the new entities. Their advice was clear, practical, and commercially focused throughout, and they handled the whole process with professionalism and efficiency. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
