UK Top 50 law firm, Birketts, has announced its sponsorship of Enterprise 100.
The sponsorship sees Birketts become the sole worldwide legal sector sponsoring partner, joining UBS Wealth Management and Novabook to support the private angel investment club. As a sponsor, Birketts will offer a programme of roundtables and one-to-one clinics to angel investors and founders on the legal issues typically encountered by the angel investor and founder communities.
Enterprise 100 or “E100” is one of the longest running private angel investment clubs in the UK. Meeting since 1999, the club brings together early-stage investors at regular intervals to participate in the programme of in-person investment showcase events, reviewing and investing in exclusive opportunities.
Speaking of Birketts’ sponsorship of Enterprise 100, Corporate and M&A Partner, Matthew Stratton, said: “We have met many of the E100 members and founders, and have seen first-hand the slick organisation and high-quality pitching process. We are proud to be on board with E100 as the sole legal sponsor, alongside UBS and Novabook. Early-stage investment is a key growth area for the firm as we expand our footprint in the London market.”
Partner in Birketts’ private client advisory team, Paul Thomson, added: “In addition to our corporate expertise, we have deep experience of advising angel investors on a range of personal and business asset protection issues, including tax and succession planning and administration of estates. We are looking forward to working alongside our co-sponsors and the talented team at E100 and providing insight and expert legal advice to members and founders alike.”
Jane Khedair, Founding Director of Enterprise 100 said “We are delighted to welcome Birketts LLP as the club’s exclusive legal services sponsor. Their reputation for excellence and commitment to supporting ambitious businesses makes them an ideal partner as we continue to champion growth and innovation across our community.”
