Bryan is a highly experienced corporate and commercial lawyer, handling the full range of corporate transactions including M&A, private equity, corporate restructures and joint ventures. He is also an employee share schemes specialist.

  • The decision to ask you to carry out all the corporate legal work regarding the sale and purchase of my company through a management buy out was without doubt one of the best in my career as a business owner! At every stage your good counsel, swift response and understanding of our needs gave me confidence that you were not simply an adviser, but a new and much valued member of our team. Every stage of the process was handled consummately by you so that could concentrate both on a very busy work period, and on managing the transition for clients and for our team. I will be recommending you and Keystone Law to anyone who needs any form of legal advice, because my experience has been that we have had the very highest quality of service at what I consider extremely good value for money.
