MBM Commercial
I felt that, in particular, Stuart helped us with the IP complexities.... and had a lot of experience in this area.

"I have worked with MBM closely for a number of years, during which time they have provided me with invaluable advice and exemplary levels of service in any number of transactions, including high value cross-boarder business sales, international commercial contracts and early stage investment. I've dealt with a number of the corporate team at MBM and I value their consistently pragmatic approach which has helped me achieve my own business goals. In a competitive market I have seen them punch above their weight in transactions time after time and this has given me the confidence to put numerous other businesses in their capable hands."

"A couple of the reasons that I liked working with Stuart and MBM...

Firstly, I liked the tailored/bespoke legal help I got from MBM and the way it grew along with my business. At the start, when money was tight, I could call Stuart up and get a fixed cost for a particular service (such as an NDA or license agreement). Some of the other companies that I approached would try to sell me the whole belt and braces from the start.

Secondly, when we were acquired by Citrix Inc., I thought that Stuart, Sandy and the MBM team did a really great job at navigating us through the transaction. I felt that in particular, Stuart helped us with the IP compexities that are so prevalent in deals involving software companies - and that Stuart had a lot of experience in this area."

“I have had the pleasure of working with MBM Commercial since the early nineties, when Sandy Finlayson kindly acted as my business mentor. Since then he has acted for the businesses I have been involved with as well as being a great supporter of Business Forum Scotland. This close working relationship with Sandy has now also extended to the wider MBM Commercial team, all of whom share Sandy's "can do" approach to business. MBM Commercial's ability to get jobs done on time and on budget is unfailing. The fact that at short notice, you "go the extra mile" and willingly work on documents into the evening to help facilitate tight deadlines on commercial completions underlines the fact that you are in tune with you clients' needs and offer a real difference in the marketplace. On the most recent piece of work, which involved a licensing deal in Japan and international commercial contracts, I would just like say how grateful I was for Stuart Hendry's support and his grasp of the international legal issues. You took no chances and I knew I had the best lawyer on my side!"

"When we started the business we had a product, some interested prospects, suppliers lined up, no money and a lot of enthusiasm. In other words we had nothing tangible. MBM Commercial introduced us to financiers, investors, got our contracts in place with both suppliers and customers and ensured the company had a solid basis going forward. From this base we could launch and become the fastest growing IT business in Scotland. Without MBM Commercial we would have made mistakes which would have restricted this growth. So, in a nutshell, they enabled it to happen. And they were very calm about it."
