Working with Ignition Law feels like having a trusted team member for all things legal. We won’t be able to move as fast as we do without Ignition. It’s the truth.

We found the team at Ignition incredibly commercial, business friendly and responsive. Having worked with Ignition for both our pre-seed and seed rounds we were impressed by how they scaled up to meet the challenge, and were able to advise us across a range of areas.

A truly exceptional non traditional law firm which has the best of all worlds: top quality leadership and management; superb practitioners; an attitude that anything can be achieved; encouraging development of its people; strong client relationships; and world class response and focus. In addition, the work is always of the highest quality. I cannot recommend Ignition enough.

The Ignition Law team is more passionate and dedicated than any firm we have ever worked with. During our funding round, Jake quickly got to grips with our needs from a legal perspective, but also clearly understood the broader commercial challenges we faced as a start-up. He’s incredibly well organised, always responsive, incredibly focused and above all, a real pleasure to work with! As a result, he has now become a core part of our team.

Dr Logic recently entered a period of rapid growth and expansion resulting in us needing to develop a new Group Structure. As such, I was looking for a legal practice who could understand the business and walk me through the legal process as well as providing sound commercial advice. I was introduced to Ignition Law by one of Dr Logic's clients and I was impressed with their joined up thinking and quick response, they always came back really quickly whenever I had a question. The legal documentation that we've ended up with is perfect and just what we wanted - and they were very fairly priced.

I engaged Ignition Law to help prepare a cookie policy, privacy policy and terms of use for my website. Julia was very responsive and gave very practical advice. I very much liked that the policies and terms weren’t too ‘legalese’, but seemed comprehensive.

We’ve worked with Ignition Law with our first startup and they were quick, affordable and professional. Then when Covid-19 lockdown started earlier in the year we decided to build a community support app; vHelp. Ignition Law were incredible in helping us get the legal side sorted with fantastic turn around time.

Ignition advised on the purchase of St Peter’s Brewery and we were extremely happy with the way they handled it. It was the first time we had bought an operating company but they guided us through the process in a way that really inspired confidence. Phil and Jon were approachable, super responsive, imaginative and highly professional. They thought of everything and we are extremely grateful for their advice. We cannot recommend Ignition highly enough.
