Management Advisory

Expert management advisory legal advice and support.

Specialist management advisory lawyers

The senior management team is crucial to the success, not only of any corporate finance process, but to the performance of an investment. At Foot Anstey, we are experienced in advising Private Equity-backed portfolio companies and their management teams and recognise that executive management need to be appropriately included in any process, and incentivised by it, but equally they must not hold up any transaction or risk its success.

Our management advisory lawyers bring a wealth of experience in offering tailored management advisory legal advice that ensures alignment between stakeholders and executives.

Why choose Foot Anstey?

At Foot Anstey, we have extensive experience in acting for management teams and owner managers in public and private companies covering the whole spectrum of different stages of development of a business, from complete start-ups, through to seed capital, VC rounds and private equity primary and secondary investments to IPOs and secondary fundraisings on public markets. Our management advisory services are designed to help navigate governance complexities while providing legal clarity.

To the management team, the equity in the business has an emotional value beyond being purely financial and sometimes there may be instances where the interests of management can diverge from those of the majority shareholders. We know our way through all of these issues and can offer unconflicted, specialist independent support backed by trusted management advisory legal advice.
