DTM Legal has been providing legal services to startups and early stage businesses for over 15 years. Our team of solicitors are experienced professionals who can provide the full spectrum of commercial legal advice.

We help get the right foundations in place to allow entrepreneurs, founders and business leaders to achieve their business goals. We provide early-stage businesses with a video meeting with relevant members of our early-stage business team to get to know your business, your needs and what you want to achieve. We can then tailor-make a bespoke package that is unique to you and your business. There is no ‘one size fits all’ package and we use our experience to act for businesses throughout their lifecycle, as we build a relationship with you to provide the services that you require.
