What People Say
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.
As an early stage company, the understanding of our needs and the support provided by Ignition has been invaluable
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.
Ignition Law has been the perfect partner for our business from start up through to growth into an SME. They have provided support with shareholding, employment and client commercial contracts as and when required. Highly recommend for Fintech start-ups.
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.
Friendly, helpful, understanding innovation.
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.
Ignition Law is incredibly people-orientated and all of the team members I have met are wonderful.

The legal partner for start-ups
We love being plugged into the vibrant start-up community.
Ignition Law was a start-up itself in 2015 and now we’re on our own scale-up journey, so we know the road our start-up clients will have to travel and how important it is to have a clear direction and pragmatic, relevant advice. And that’s our aim: to simplify entrepreneur’s lives.
Advising scale ups
Once we’re you’re through the early years and you begin to scale, there’ll be new challenges to negotiate. You might seek more funding. You may decide to acquire complementary businesses. You might need more sophisticated intellectual property protection or develop a more complicated relationship with personal data.
We’ll be by your side, ready to navigate this stage of the entrepreneurial journey with you.
Championing entrepreneurial spirit
With the spirit of innovation being so strong across so many industries, larger companies often have intrapreneurial businesses. These start-ups still require a high standard of guidance, but on a more responsive basis and at a lower price point.
We work on a co-counsel basis with larger law firms to support start-ups within bigger businesses.
