by our clients
“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.”

“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.”
