Valued and trusted
by our clients
“Masl Legal guided us through a £4.5m cross-border acquisition involving companies in two jurisdictions, navigating complex rules of origin requirements under the UK-EU TCA and securing HMRC advance rulings on customs classification. Their ability to coordinate legal, customs, and tax workstreams simultaneously saved us months. We completed the entire transaction within 14 weeks — our previous advisers had estimated six months.”
Kieran M.
CEO, international logistics group with operations in 3 EU markets
“When we engaged Masl Legal for our corporate restructuring, we were preparing for a seed fundraise while simultaneously integrating an acquisition. Their corporate team structured a group reorganisation that satisfied our incoming investor's requirements, preserved our R&D tax credit eligibility, and resolved legacy shareholder issues through a bespoke drag-along mechanism. The transaction completed on schedule and we closed our £2m seed round three weeks later.”
Rebecca H.
CFO, high-growth fintech company with 30 employees
“Their AI law expertise is genuinely exceptional. We were deploying a machine learning model for credit decisioning across UK and EU markets and needed to comply with both the UK's sectoral approach and the EU AI Act's high-risk requirements simultaneously. Masl Legal developed a unified compliance framework covering our conformity assessment, documentation standards, human oversight mechanisms, and FCA Consumer Duty obligations. They reduced our compliance timeline from 12 months to 6 months without compromising thoroughness.”
David L.
CTO, AI-powered lending platform processing £15m annually
“Our IP portfolio is in genuinely safe hands. When we discovered a competitor had filed trade mark applications across 4 classes that directly conflicted with our core brand, Masl Legal's IP team filed opposition proceedings within 48 hours. They built a compelling case based on our earlier rights and the distinctiveness evidence we had been collecting on their advice. All 4 oppositions were successful, and we secured a costs award. Their proactive approach to IP monitoring identified the threat before we even knew it existed.”
Sarah T.
Founder & CEO, consumer wellness brand with £6m annual revenue
“We engaged Masl Legal for an arbitration seated in London under LCIA rules, involving a £1.8m claim arising from a terminated distribution agreement across the Middle East. Their strategic approach to document production and expert evidence was exceptional — they identified a critical contractual estoppel argument that the opposing party's firm had overlooked entirely. We secured a favourable award of £1.4m plus costs, resolved within 12 months of commencement.”
James W.
Managing Director, UK manufacturing group with distribution in 5 countries
“During a difficult restructuring affecting 85 employees across two sites, Masl Legal's employment team managed the entire collective consultation process with remarkable precision and sensitivity. They ensured full compliance with TULRCA requirements, structured a voluntary redundancy scheme that achieved a 40% reduction in compulsory redundancies, and negotiated settlement agreements for senior departures. Not a single tribunal claim was brought. Their combination of legal rigour and genuine empathy for all parties involved was exactly what we needed.”
