Timothy LeesonPartner

I joined the firm in 2016 having previously been a partner at a large US firm in London.

 

Corporate Finance

 

I run a multi-stage corporate finance practice. My clients are founders, growth companies, the funds that invest in them and financial institutions. This encompasses early stage financing events through to exits, whether via M&A or IPO, and onwards.   I believe that acting at each level is essential to my clients in terms of setting present and future expectations.

 

Technology

 

I have nearly 30 years of experience acting for technology companies and the investors who support them.  Many of my clients are in this sector.

 

Financial Services

 

Being London-based it is unsurprising that funds, banks and other financial institutions instruct me, together with those businesses wishing to challenge and compete with them. I spearhead Lewis Silkin’s cross-skills approach to financial services work.

 

International

 

Having worked for US firms in London for 10 years my practice has a significant international element.  My particular focus is in the US, the Middle East (GCC and the Levant/Egypt) and, more recently, parts of the Asia-Pac region.
