As an early stage investor and incubator, we need entrepreneurial, solutions-focused legal providers who have a deep startup understanding and help us grow our investment business. Accelerate Law give us this in a highly flexible, efficient and approachable way.

Managing Partner, EarlyMarket

We wanted legal support that was approachable and to have an outlet to run things by any time without worrying about the costs. Accelerate Law give us great customer experience, efficiency and flexibility. We hope to continue collaborating and recommend their services to any startup looking for legal help.

We were thrilled to be recommended to Accelerate Law in setting up our first venturing and accelerator project, investing in startups in Africa. Accelerate Law helped us create and polish several investor and financing documents in a direct and flexible way. Great to have their team on board.

Simon and his team seem to genuinely enjoy helping my business thrive. His Linklaters training is apparent in everything he does – he has been fierce in my negotiations, innovative in my problem-solving and most of all, has been incredibly compassionate and reassuring through key moments in my business development.

Founder and CEO, TLC

Accelerate Law helped us with our investment round and, since the beginning, they made us feel comfortable that we were implementing the right legal structure both internally, between founders, and externally, with investors. That has allowed us to grow quickly, avoid internal disputes, and confidently get ready for fundraising. In addition, the commercial advice given by the Accelerate law team was invaluable. They were able to offer the best commercial legal solutions that fit Pancho Datos and our business model. I definitely recommend Accelerate Law for their commercial advice, efficiency and value for money.

Director, Tequila Pancho Datos

The Accelerate Law team made what I thought was going to be a complex investment round seem totally smooth, simple and efficient. We have since worked together on our EMI Scheme and other commercial contracts which have all been delivered excellently with clear knowledge and experience. It has been a great experience throughout that fulfilled what we were promised initially - lawyers that get startups, know how founders and investors think, and who make things happen fast.

Accelerate Law helped me throughout my time operating Alva, from commercial contracts to HR matters. Then, they massively stepped in to support me in the sale process for my business. Simon provided me with strategic advice from everything from customer messaging of the transition, to the legal support for the entire transaction. He went over and above in every way, and can genuinely say I don't think the transaction would have happened without his support. He's become a trusted friend, as well as a legal professional, and is absolutely my go to for legal questions. I have, and actively do, recommend Simon to others. Simon and Silvia are an excellent pair, and really understand what it's like to be an early stage founder. They're flexible, affordable and high quality. Honestly, there's nothing not to recommend.

The Accelerate Law team have been BYP’s trusted advisors from the very start. From advising us on our commercial partnerships stuctures, to completing our freelance and employment agreements, to running our successful seed funding round, we get quality, attention, value for money and the guidance we need to keep growing at pace. Highly recommend.

Kike Oniwinde

Founder and CEO, BYP Network

We wanted access to reliable and high-quality legal services that didn’t cost the eye-watering fees of London law firms. Initially, we were looking for help with a shareholder agreement to complete our first angel funding round but Accelerate has since also helped with employment contracts, website terms and partnership agreements. Thanks in part to Accelerate Law’s work, we have been able to raise investment multiple times and grown from a tiny startup to an international team of nearly 40 people. Accelerate has an ability to not over-complicate legal work. Their advice is always very pragmatic and aims to get to a simple solution without using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I would definitely recommend Accelerate Law: it’s very easy to deal with from a process and comms perspective, legal work is always high quality and drafted in an easy-to-understand way (not over-legalled), price is always very competitive and means startups have more ready access to legal services.

Sam Hussain

Founder and CEO, Log My Care

We initially needed legal advice for our first funding round in 2019 and have since worked repeatedly with the Accelerate Law team across our follow-on funding, EMI Scheme, various shareholder matters and commercial contracts. The team, led by Simon, has enabled us to continue to grow with trusted legal support so we could focus on what we do best! Our expectations have been exceeded throughout. We particularly recommend Simon and co for the friendly, cost-effective and comprehensive advice with fast turnaround.

Claudia Arnold

COO, Jelly Drops

We got the silicon valley legal experience with Accelerate Law! They’re fast, pragmatic and are clearly comfortable going toe to toe with the industry big boys to close deals. We continue to receive advice with them on various complex commercial partner, shareholder and funding matters, and feel comfortable going into negotiations knowing we have ‘legal’ covered so effectively. The best thing we can say is that their support is an asset rather than a cost, and we are excited for the next steps together. Delighted to recommend to other growing startups.

I’ve been around a few years now and in summary, you want these guys on your team (and definitely not on the other team!). Laura is a real expert who cares about your business and its success. She has gotten to know me, my team, how we work and make sure what she does reflects our own special Inspiring Interns character. A top level service from first class people who have restored my trust in working with lawyers. Cheers.
