M&A and transactions
Buy-side, sell-side, recaps and rollups. Diligence run like a war room and a close on your terms, not the other side's timeline.

Metalaw Solutions is a corporate and commercial firm for founders, funds and high-profile individuals. We build the deal — and when someone breaks it, we litigate it.
One side, completely. From the moment you retain us, your interest is the only interest in the room.
A Master owns your mandate end to end. No relay, no handoff to whoever was free that week.
Every document assumes someone will one day try to break it. That is the standard we draft to.
Six mandates. Every one is run as a campaign — an objective, a squad assembled for it, and a plan for what the other side does next.
Buy-side, sell-side, recaps and rollups. Diligence run like a war room and a close on your terms, not the other side's timeline.
The paper that holds when the relationship doesn't. Drafted to be enforced, not admired — because we are the ones who will enforce it.
Boards, shareholder agreements, control and succession. Structure written for the fight you hope never comes.
Deadlock, oppression, forced exits. When a partner becomes an adversary, we take the position early and hold it.
Injunctions, urgent motions, contract wars. We litigate to end the matter, not to extend it.
Licensing, SaaS terms, data and IP ownership. Own what you built and know exactly what you gave away.

Four rules. They decide who we take on, how the squad is built, and what happens at 11pm the night before a closing.
We do not hedge and we do not soften a position to keep a relationship warm across the table. Retain us and there is exactly one client in the room.
A squad is assembled per campaign — the Masters and counsel who fit that adversary. Scaled up the day it escalates, stood down the day it ends.
Our transactional work is written by people who litigate. Every clause is drafted against the argument someone will one day make to escape it.
Direct lines to the Masters on your file. No intake portal between you and the person arguing your case.
Masters take mandates. Not files.

Metalaw Solutions is organised as an order, not a pyramid. Senior counsel — our Masters — carry the mandate from first call to final order, and the Council decides which campaigns the firm takes.

Tell us the campaign and who is on the other side. A Master reviews every submission and replies directly — usually the same business day.
Nothing you sent creates a solicitor-client relationship until we confirm a retainer in writing. If the matter is urgent, email us directly at the address alongside this form.
