Ashfords has partnered with the Growth Forge 2024 programme as legal specialists, to support growth technology businesses. The initiative, aims to support up to 150 scaling businesses to build on their growth, deepen their expertise and achieve their commercial goals.
The programme, launched by Tech South West, will support each business individually; creating a bespoke support package with help from its specialist partners. The programme will also include three ‘Growth Days’; events that will allow these ambitious businesses to network, attend workshops and share their experiences.
Ashfords' Technology and Digital Transformation team has extensive experience working with innovative technology clients and a range of high growth businesses, driving digital transformation in their industries. Our legal professionals have particular expertise in advising clients on equity funding, software, hardware, maintenance and support contracts, escrow, cloud solutions and NFC (near field communication) agreements.
Ashfords is embedded in the technology ecosystem in the UK and internationally, supporting incubators and innovation hubs, fast growth companies and investment funds. The firm has been recognised for supporting scaling businesses across the country, including via our business scale-up hub.
Chris Dyson, Partner and Head of Technology and Digital Transformation at Ashfords, said: "We are proud to be supporting the Tech SW Growth Forge. Our team of specialist lawyers are passionate about working with growth businesses and investors in the technology sector as they look to the future, whether that’s ongoing support, raising capital, strategic acquisitions, or the sale of the business.
Ashfords has a longstanding reputation for supporting tech businesses that will make a real difference in the region, and we look forward to sharing our knowledge and expertise with the companies involved in this programme."
Tech sector lawyers Scott Preece and Brett Lambe will be heavily involved in the programme, having delivered a number of briefing and training sessions at Growth Days last year.
Commenting on our continuing partnership, Scott Preece said: “We’re thrilled to be continuing our partnership with the programme and our support of Tech SW. We know from our extensive work in the market that there is a great deal of talent and opportunity in the region, and we look forward to sharing our expertise with the fast-growing tech innovators involved in the Growth Forge network.”
