Credentials

- Diploma in Legal Practice
- Ranked individual in Chambers / Legal 500 2017
I work with individuals, businesses, multi-nationals, private equity groups, banks, hedge funds and venture capitalists to help businesses find the investment to grow. I help you invest in a business or to secure investment for your business.
According to the independent Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession:-
"Ken is very experienced and knowledgeable in this field. This allows him to help us work through issues successfully."
I bring that pragmatism to your private equity transactions where I seek to achieve a “win–win” solution all round. My practical streak means I strive to find solutions to all those niggly issues which arise and can, if mismanaged, become deal breakers rather than deal makers.
My philosophy is to give you a clear understanding of the path to completing your deal, and what may and may not be conceded.
