Legal expertise for tech SMEs. Always solid legal advice. Never opaque.
Are you a tech business looking for lawyers who are reliable, transparent, and easy (maybe even enjoyable!) to work with?
Law: the cornerstone of every tech business
Whether the value of your business is defined by your contracts, your intellectual property rights, your data or your team, that value is at risk if the legals aren't right. Our team of specialists has a deep understanding of your industry, developed over decades. We’ll look at your business from every angle, and give straight answers to ensure you achieve your goals.
Who we enjoy working with
Our focus is on early-stage businesses and SMEs because we get a kick out of seeing them succeed, helping them hold their own against enterprise customers, and supporting founders and leaders who are as passionate about their business as we are about ours. And, after decades of practice with exactly these types of businesses, we know where we can add the most value.
No in-house lawyer? No problem!
If you’re a founder or senior leader wearing too many hats, we’ll act as your outsourced in-house team - the legal function you’d hire if you had the time (and budget) to build one. And, better still, we're specialists in many different areas, and have (at least!) 4 times as much experience as your average in-house GC.
Sole counsel? We keep you company.
Being on your own can be lonely, and having no-one to sense check against can be risky. If you’re the only lawyer in a fast-moving business, we’ll slot in seamlessly wherever you need us. Whether you could use a specialist on data protection, M&A, or IP, cover for a holiday or busy period, or just a 5 minute call to double check you're on the right track, we've got you covered.
Legal teams with a knowledge gap.
While our main focus is on small businesses, we're happy to help larger in-house teams and other law firms who need niche expertise - particularly around technology, data and intellectual property. We can work alongside members of your team or directly with your client - either way, you get experienced lawyers who deliver.
What we enjoy working on
No-one is an expert in everything, so we stick to what we're good at - advising tech start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs on the legal questions that are most important to them.
Corporate Transactions
Venture capital. Private equity. M&A.
We help founders, investors and leaders get transactions done cleanly, confidently, and without drama.
From your first funding round to your successful exit, you'll get senior, pragmatic legal advice and expert guidance, always focused on moving your deal forward.
Commercial Contracts
Drafting. Review. Negotiation.
Whether you're launching your first product or refining your legal foundations, your contracts need to be clear, balanced, and built for growth.
We help tech businesses protect what matters most - their relationships, their reputation, and their IP - without slowing down the deal.
Data Protection and Privacy
Compliance. Data transactions. Breaches.
Data and privacy regulations move fast. We explain in plain English and help you maximise the value of your data, while staying compliant.
If things go wrong, we’ll give calm and objective guidance on how best to respond and mitigate risk.
Intellectual Property
Protect. Manage. Commercialise.
Your IP is your edge. The rights to your software code, your brand, your content and ideas - everything that make your business stand out from the crowd.
We help you protect, manage, and commercialise your most valuable assets to achieve your business goals.
Technology Regulations
Awareness. Understanding. Compliance.
Technology moves faster than most rulebooks - and the regulations rarely arrive in one neat package.
We help businesses in the technology sector make sense of complex, overlapping regimes and stay compliant, without losing momentum.
Corporate Governance
Checked. Compliant. Under Control.
Business leaders have legal responsibilities, but it can be hard to prioritise good corporate governance when there are so many more pressing demands on your time.
We make sure you know what's needed and when, and we can do many routine filings for you.
Who enjoys working with us
From day one, their approach was sharp, pragmatic, and deeply aligned with our business needs. The collaboration with Matt and Anna was exceptional—responsive, thoughtful, and consistently solution-oriented. Despite being newly founded, ClearCube operates with the confidence and precision of a seasoned firm. We value this partnership and look forward to continuing to build together.
We have worked with Matt Cunningham for many years as our UK legal partner. He is responsive, pragmatic and a pleasure to work with – a legal partner you can trust, which is a rare thing to say.
We came to ClearCube with a complicated investment deal, and as founders who had never been through anything like this before, we really relied on their guidance. They were incredibly supportive throughout, taking the time to walk us through each step in a practical way. They were responsive, always available when we had questions, and clearly explained the implications of each option. Their practical advice made a challenging process feel much less intimidating, and we felt supported all the way.
