What have we done?
Dr Stephen Franklin CEO
Provexis Plc
“We
have worked with Smithsons from a very early stage in our development.
Our lead product, Cardioflow, has now successfully passed through a
full-scale clinical trial and we are negotiating deals for the commercial
exploitation of this product. Smithsons have assisted us throughout
the early stage fund raising as well as the negotiations and documentation
of our commercial relationships.
We find
the mix of commercial understanding and technical input to have served us
well and we consider Smithsons to be an important part of our team in
creating shareholder value in this company.”
GaryWells, former
Managing Director of Kangaroo Poo
“I led
a management buy-in team in the acquisition of this business early in
2004. The nature of the transaction involved a complex mix of
corporate financing including institutional equity, senior debt, vendor
funding and an earn out!
Smithsons
guided us through the process from Heads of Terms to ultimate completion
of the acquisition.”
Dave Giovanni IP
Director of Gregory Pennington
“Smithsons
acted for us on our management buy-out of the company.
Since
then they advised us when someone started “squatting” on our domain
name.
Smithsons
quickly and effectively stopped the use of this domain name by the third
party in question.”
Dave Morris, Chief
Executive of Doncaster Rovers Football Club
“Smithsons
acted for us when an employee left and attempted to claim disability
discrimination against the Club.
Smithsons
reviewed the papers and advised us against making an offer so that the
employee would “go away”. Instead, they fought the case in the
Industrial Tribunal who struck the claim out. Smithsons also
obtained an order for costs against the employee in question.”
Deborah Bennett,
Managing Director of Griptone Limited
“Smithsons
first acted for us when we acquired Cromie Engineering. They
explained the process to us in clear terms and guided us through the
transaction to a successful completion. They now act for the Group
on all commercial matters.”
Matthew Beech, Managing
Director of PAS Limited
“Our company is a leading
software developer and supplier in its field. Smithsons advise us on
the legal arrangements for the exploitation of our IPR and the industrial
collaborations that we are forming. They are also giving us general
corporate advice in structuring our business which we find extremely
useful at this stage in our development.
