He has considerable experience in areas as diverse as music, life science, retail and software.
“Andy and his team have helped Contagious as we put contracts and agreements in place with new clients. They have supported us in negotiating contracts with much larger organisations to ensure
that we were not bound by onerous or unrealistic terms, allowing us to develop strong, collaborative relationships with clients. The team at MBM are very approachable and responsive and their jargon friendly style has helped to demystify contracts for our client facing team.“
“We have worked closely with MBM for a number of years now. Initially with their Holistic HR but have also used their services on contracts and trademarks. I would highly recommend their work and services that they have provided to us.“
“I liked the tailored/bespoke legal help I got from MBM and the way it grew along with my business. At the start, when money was tight, I could call MBM and get a fixed cost for a particular service (such as an NDA or license agreement). Some of the other companies that I approached would try to sell me the whole belt and braces from the start.“
“We worked with MBM from company incorporation through two investment rounds and an IP trademark application. The MBM team were very responsive at every stage and ensured a smooth process to completion.“
