HomeWhat we do
The strategic layer around IP value.
We help clients build IP capabilities, make sense of complex IP situations and bring together the expertise needed to deliver. Our role is to define, structure and lead; specialist delivery is undertaken by the right people for each task.
01Services
Four services.
- 01
Practice building
For advisory, valuation and professional-services firms establishing or accelerating a specialist IP capability. Proposition, pricing, people, process and pipeline.
- 02
Specialist access and delivery teams
For any client whose matter needs formal valuation, disposal, legal, technical or financing expertise. We identify the right specialists, make the introductions and bring the team together around the requirement.
- 03
Restructuring and insolvency
For insolvency practitioners, lenders, restructuring advisers and boards dealing with IP-rich businesses in distress, before or during a formal process.
- 04
IP finance and lending
For lenders and investors looking to understand IP as collateral, assess opportunities and plan for recovery.
02How we work
From first conversation to delivery.
- 01
Understand
We get to the commercial heart of the situation quickly: the assets, the stakeholders, the timetable and what success looks like.
- 02
Define
We scope the requirement precisely, whether that is a practice proposition, a valuation brief, a realisation strategy or a lending framework.
- 03
Assemble
We identify and bring together the right expertise: valuers, agents, lawyers, technical specialists, lenders and buyers, matched to the task.
- 04
Mobilise
We set the process, align the people and stay close to the work so the outcome reflects the strategy.
03Principles
How we think about the work.
- 01
Commercial before technical
A valuation or a sale process is only as good as the question it answers. We start with the decision the client needs to make.
- 02
The right specialist for the task
No single firm is best at everything. We match expertise to the asset, the sector and the situation.
- 03
Clarity of roles
Every engagement sets out who does what, who is responsible for which opinion and how the work is governed.
- 04
Speed with discipline
Complex situations reward early, structured thinking. We move quickly without cutting corners.
- 05
Discretion
Much of our work is confidential. We treat it that way.
Engagements are accepted subject to availability, conflicts and existing contractual commitments. Where formal valuation opinions, agency, legal advice or regulated services are required, they are provided by appropriately qualified and appointed specialists.
