About Seven Legal.
Starting, scaling and exiting a business is hard.
Seven Legal works alongside founding teams on their journeys through funding, scaling and exiting high growth ventures with a focus on concise, pragmatic legal advice for each stage of a company’s growth cycle.
We deliver this through strategic advice and expert execution, built on advising hundreds of founding teams from incorporation to exit in the UK and Ireland.
Experience
Our team have completed hundreds of funding rounds in the London early stage market from Seed to Series B. Our clients benefit from a lean team of senior lawyers who specialise in advising early stage, high growth companies.
Execution
We believe that legal advice is should provide a solution to a problem, quickly and efficiently. Our focus is on aligning legal outcomes with commercial intention.
Empathy
Our job is to protect and position entrepreneurs to do their very best work. We do this by providing stage specific advice and acting as an asset rather than a cost to our clients.
Meet our Founder, Bill Cogan.
Operating in family businesses from an early age, Bill has always viewed legal advice as a technical skill to assist (not participate) in decision making. He understands first-hand the work involved to build companies and has personal interests in a number of high growth ventures, in which he invests and advises on fundraising, strategy and legal matters.
Bill is a dual qualified lawyer as a Solicitor of England & Wales and Attorney-at-law of the State of New York. He completed his LLM at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law following an undergraduate at University College Dublin where he obtained a Bachelor of Business Law. He is a speaker at entrepreneurial programmes in London run by London & Partners, Imperial College and Enterprise Ireland.
