Hello! I founded Tall & Co to provide 'City firm' legal services to in-house legal teams, SMEs and start-ups at affordable rates. Having worked both in top City law firms and in-house for multi-national corporations, I feel I truly understand the needs of clients and how general counsel operate.
As a business owner, I am able to look at legal transactions not just in the strict legal sense but also translate them into commercial reality. Hence, the ethos of my firm is:
- to truly understand your business needs and to grow with you;
- to produce documents that are not full of legal jargon, but make commercial & practical sense to you;
- to provide you with peace of mind thanks to our experience and professionalism.
Working with me is a team of highly experienced lawyers that I have personally selected and vetted. We cover everything from mergers & acquisitions right through to commercial & IT-related deals with supplier and customers, taking on staff and protecting your brand & ideas.
We also run workshops and speak at conferences for business owners, so do please enquire if we can help your team with a legal workshop. Frequently requested topics are data protection, cyber security, and key risks to look out for in commercial deals.
Having grown up abroad, I am fluent in French and German and also have a qualification in business Spanish too. So reviewing documents in those languages is not an issue. I also believe that my multi-cultural upbringing means that I am more sensitive to client needs and a good listener, having been dropped in at the deep end when it came to learning the language!
I and my team very much look forward to working with you.
P.S. In case you wonder about the pattern, I am very fond of giraffes (a happy coincidence given the name of my firm!) and, I like to think, they symbolise everything I hope we can offer you: overview and subtle integration with grace...
