Tony LittnerHarbottle & Lewis LLP

While it does handle some funds work, Harbottle & Lewis LLP remains best-known for its company side credentials, and the ability to guide investees in the media and entertainment and technology sectors from an early stage through subsequent funding sounds associated with scaling-up their operations. In this context, the team provides ‘very competitive pricing for early stage startups’, and is also noted for its ‘very forward thinking’, a consequence of which is cost savings for the client further down the line. Team head Tony Littner  ‘knows the VC landscape inside and out’, and provides a ‘fantastic customer service’, particularly to entrepreneurial businesses in the technology sector. Senior associate Tom Macleod is also a key member of the team and as well as regularly providing vital support to Littner on his deals, is also developing his own practice, with a focus on servicing high growth tech companies throughout the funding continuum.
