Meet Demi
I am a Corporate and Commercial solicitor advising founders, SMEs and investors on buying, selling and scaling businesses.
My practice focuses on private M&A, where I act for both buyers and sellers. I have experience running small to medium sell-side transactions from start to finish, as well as supporting on larger, multi-party deals. I have led transactions for SME sellers across the technology, food and beverage and healthcare sectors, and have supported on the acquisition of multiple care homes, investment into a large media company and the sale of a large construction company.
Alongside transactional work, I advise on joint ventures, corporate structuring and the legal agreements that underpin day-to-day operations. I regularly support start-ups and growing businesses with investment and shareholder arrangements, as well as commercial contracts.
I have worked with clients across a range of sectors, with particular exposure to technology and property-related investments, and have experience on cross-border matters involving India and Italy.
I am known for being responsive, commercially minded and calm under pressure, with a focus on clear communication and practical, solutions-driven advice.
Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors with our two dogs, travelling, and exploring new restaurants.
