With twenty practitioners focusing on corporate and commercial work, the 'responsive and proactive' team at Capital Law Limited has the strength-in-depth to handle a tremendous range and volume of work for private and listed companies on transactional work in the immediate geographical confines, as well as beyond the Welsh borders. Under the guidance of 'solutions-oriented' corporate head Tom Kelleher and former in-house counsel at 3i Group Duncan Macintosh , the centrepiece of the practice, however, remains its private equity/venture capital offering, both for institutional investors, as well as management teams. As well as his continued M&A work for core client, WestBridge, Kelleher also continues to grow the firm's offering in the space, with nascent London-based sponsor Averroes Capital a notable new client. Laura Spendiff has entrenched relationships with clients in the local SME market and along with 'very efficient and pragmatic' Gareth Williams-Davies, whose private equity credentials includes work for both management teams and sponsors, was promoted to partner in November 2022. Maria Coggins leads the commercial offering at the firm and excels in advising on commercial contracts and data protection.Practice head(s):

Dispute resolution > Commercial litigation Tier 1
Combining ‘a fierce commercialism and excellent legal skills with a warm, personable and collaborative working style’, Capital Law Limited is a popular choice among clients defending and bringing claims relating to a wide variety of commercial litigation, both in conventional litigation, as well as in an arbitration process. A significant number of these actions are brought under the umbrella of the firm’s own litigation fund, Capital Finance, which has proved to be a vital resource to parties who would otherwise have perhaps lacked the financial means to bring a case. Andrew Brown is noted as an expert on third party funding and as well as setting up the firm’s own fund, is also regularly engaged by other law firms to provide guidance on litigation funding and alternative fee arrangements for their clients. As mindful of risk management and litigation avoidance, as he is at effectively representing the interests of clients in the teeth of litigation, ‘very well organised and responsive’ team head Stephen Meade is a popular choice among both private and public sector clients across a range of litigation, including contentious property matters. Philip Jones is vastly experienced at handling a myriad corporate disputes, including those within an insolvency setting, and is also a key member of the team alongside up-and-coming partners Guto Llewelyn , who is noted for his debt recovery excellence, and the ‘fiercely commercial’ Lucy Emanuel , who excels in financial services disputes.Practice head(s):

Dispute resolution > Debt recovery Tier 1

Consequently, the team, which is led by Guto Llewellyn, is effectively an extension of the clients' in-house credit control department and can strategise the most appropriate method for recovering debts, including the use of injunctive relief to freeze assets if necessary. Clients also have access to the firm's unique litigation fund, which can be of particular use for stakeholders which may have otherwise lacked the financial means necessary to pursue claims.Practice head(s):

CLIENT: Gareth Williams (In House Counsel)
COMPANY/FIRM: British Medical Association
TESTIMONIAL: “The British Medical Association has used Capital Law for a range of work including public and administrative law, employment, litigation and commercial. Capital are very approachable and user friendly. The level of service provided has been exceptional, often exceeding that of the better known central law firms we had used previously and with considerable cost savings. We regard a number of the Capital lawyers as being an extension to the BMA’s own legal team – due to the detailed knowledge of our needs that they have acquired, coupled with the close working relationship and trust that we have in them.”
CLIENT: Chris Inson (Legal Counsel and Company Secretary)
COMPANY/FIRM: The Royal Mint Limited
TESTIMONIAL: “Capital Law has a deep understanding of The Royal Mint’s history, the complexities of our business and the challenges we are facing day-to-day. They’ve provided us with timely and professional legal advice and support for over 10 years, to the extent they have become a value-add extension of our business. They make the effort to get to know our people and our needs, helping us to make decisions with full knowledge of the options.
