Crest Legal

Law Firm

86-90 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NE, UK



Crest Legal is a firm of solicitors which provides business legal services for entrepreneurs and senior managers of startups and other privately held business. Our clients are based throughout the UK and further afield. We are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

All advice is led by Tak Matsuda who has a wealth of experience in corporate and commercial transactions gained in leading City of London law firms, and as a board adviser. We do not have high overheads of many law firms with employees working in physical office spaces in expensive locations. We have adopted technology for remote working in a smart way so that we can work flexibly.

We work on a range of corporate and commercial matters. We focus on the following:

Business sales, including MBOs, exit planning, shareholder buy-outs
Startups, particularly angel and VC investment rounds, SEIS and EIS, shareholders’ agreements and share incentive schemes
Commercial contracts, including terms and conditions

If our client’s requirements do not match our experience, we always seek to make a valuable introduction to the right specialist lawyer.
