Escrow Services

We act as an independent escrow agent, holding funds or documents and releasing them only when the conditions the parties have agreed are met.

The service is used in M&A transactions, software licensing, intellectual property deals and other high value or cross border arrangements where counterparty risk is a concern. We draft bespoke escrow agreements that reflect the practical realities of each transaction, and we act for companies, founders, investors and institutions on both sides of the market.

All escrow funds are held in segregated client accounts operated in accordance with the Solicitors Accounts Regulations and the Law Society's guidelines, which gives the parties the protection of a regulated profession rather than a commercial escrow provider.

Whether part of a wider transaction or a stand alone arrangement, we offer clear advice, fast execution and the discretion that these arrangements require.
