About Moorcrofts

Dependable legal advice, whatever your business.

Moorcrofts LLP is a Legal 500 boutique practice, specialising in corporate and technology law. Small in size but large in reputation, we offer expert legal advice and guidance to local, national and international businesses; businesses of all shapes and sizes, from individual entrepreneurs to FTSE 100 multinational companies.

At Moorcrofts LLP, we believe in building relationships that last. That’s why many long-standing clients still put their trust in us and rely on our friendly, unassuming attitude, straightforward approach, personal service and professional expertise to understand their situation, needs and objectives and help them to navigate the sometimes complex web of business law.

From our offices in the Thames Valley and London, our teams of specialist solicitors deliver pragmatic legal advice across a broad range of business areas including corporate law, technology law, employment law and commercial property law, helping our clients meet the challenges they face today and seize the opportunities tomorrow may bring.

Focus

A lean, dynamic law firm based in the Thames Valley, helping entrepreneurs and established businesses realise their potential.

Collaborative

For the work we don’t do (such as commercial litigation, probate, family) we have an established network of hand-picked like-minded lawyers from other firms we know that we can rely on and we know will get on well with our clients.

International Outlook

We also work closely with firms in other jurisdictions. We have long-standing personal relationships with firms in cities worldwide, including Barcelona, Berlin, Lausanne, Helsinki, Lille, Paris, Lisbon, Milan, New York, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, Perth, Seoul, Taipei, Wellington, Hong Kong and Kolkata.

Personal

You’ll have direct partner contact throughout the conduct of your matter. We make ourselves available when you need us. We’re a friendly bunch.

Flexible and Transparent

We bill in whatever way suits you: our regular clients are billed monthly, but we can also set up a retainer or per-matter billing arrangement. For drafting-only work, or specific pieces of advice, we can quote a fixed fee. We’re happy to break down time records in whatever way suits your internal systems.

Reputation

We act for some of the biggest names around, and have an international clientele ranging from entrepreneurs to US stock-market listed companies.

Very responsive and customer focused. They work in a very competitive market and their customer service approach sets them apart. They go the extra mile to ensure all queries are dealt with efficiently, in a friendly way and all advice and guidance is explained to the customer's level of knowledge. You trust the advice and when referred to another part of the business, the service levels are consistent. They are focused on, and consistently deliver, a wide range of services for corporate law, so you have the confidence of dealing with a firm that has a solid standing and excellent reputation.

From the moment we first engaged with Moorcrofts, we knew we were in safe hands. Partner Teri Hunter immediately put us at our ease and we quickly came to realise that we were working with someone with extensive experience of the acquisition process. Teri not only protected our interests but also ensured that we achieved the best possible outcome. Having someone of that experience and commitment working on our behalf took away our concerns and instilled us with confidence. Teri is totally professional and also a really nice person to work with.

— Mike Beale, Managing Director of Team Ultra
I met Teri and her team at Moorcrofts earlier this year when I sold my company Grand Parade Limited to bookmaker giant William Hill. She came highly recommended and with good reason. For various commercial reasons this deal had to be completed in a 4 week timeframe, and Teri and her team worked around the clock to get the deal done. She was pragmatic and focused, and approached negotiations with tenacity and aplomb. The process was at times stressful and difficult but Teri kept us sane throughout.

Teri Hunter is quite simply Brilliant!!! Teri has worked with us on two multimillion pound purchases this year and has demonstrated excellent legal and financial knowledge, and sound negotiation skills. Teri has a problem-solving approach to all issues, and is always very supportive and responsive, with a deep understanding of the changing needs of our business. She has excellent attention to detail and is skilled at finding solutions to any legal or business challenge. I would have no hesitation in recommending Moorcrofts, particularly Teri Hunter to others.

— Howard Mitchell, Director, Big Sky Partnership
Matt Jenkin is a great lawyer. He not only has a very sound knowledge of employment law but is also highly practical. When I engage a lawyer, I want someone who can apply extensive knowledge in a commercially astute way, and this is where Matt excels. I also really value his integrity and judgment. Matt takes the pain out of transactions because he recognises that clients want solutions that work for their business, leaving the legal process to the experts. Matt is such an expert and is, without any doubt, the best employment lawyer I know.

— Tim Martin (former practising lawyer), Chief Executive Officer, Speak in Confidence
We have been very pleased with Moorcrofts legal expertise, knowledge and service levels over several years. Andrew Katz in particular is a very capable and knowledgeable lawyer, with deep expertise in law related to software, data protection and open source law and is able to provide legal advice that makes business sense. Moorcrofts have helped us negotiate several important business agreements in a practical and sensible way, and have also helped us draft standard contracts and given specific and very helpful advice in some specialist areas of software law. They have also been able to refer us to some helpful international lawyers over the years. I would recommend Moorcrofts to any software company.
