Carbon Kapture are a seaweed marketing company that has an active interest in creating carbon negative products and services to reverse climate change. It’s a niche market. One that we haven’t been operating in for very long and the path for success is not mature. If you add to this that it is our first 'rodeo' you start to understand the challenges that we as a business face.
We are new to the market; we operate in a very conservative and immature industry, and we are learning as we go. When I was referred to Tiger Law we were at the mercy of a lot of pressing market forces. I personally was lost in a sea of legal needs and needed a practical insightful lawyer to guide me.
I remember speaking to a friend who ran a start up who told me about this really ‘helpful’ lawyer, Damion Way. I was hesitant but, in the end, I gave him a call. Best decision I have made as far as legal advice is concerned.
What I got was exactly what I wanted. A wise head. Someone with real world experience, who could guide me through the quagmire and explain why the path we were taking was the best way forward. Damion has been available for me at pretty much any time I have needed him. He has given me some hard truths and some brilliant advice. Essentially exactly what my company has needed. It has been both timely and practical.
There has been no them and us situation ever. He has been like an extension of my team. I can’t recommend Damion or Tiger Law enough.
Damion Way of Tiger Law assisted me with a review of a shareholders' agreement for a small private company operating in the Lloyd's insurance market. Damion instinctively grasped the scope of work and worked under tight time scales to provide meaningful advice and made sure I fully comprehended the finer details of the agreement. The fixed fee structure employed was reasonable and provided up-front cost certainty. Despite the cost structure, Damion was generous with his time, including agreeing to several meetings to discuss his findings and tackle any follow up questions. Overall I was very pleased with the quality of the advice and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Damion and Tiger Law for work of a similar nature.
Damion has helped us to navigate our way through many legal documents we have needed when launching a web app from both a B2C and B2B standpoint. We are so grateful for all the great guidance and assistance he has given and continues to give us. His attention to detail and response time has enabled us to get things out there very quickly. We would highly recommend Tiger Law to others.
This is the third time I've used Tiger Law and they've been superb yet again. Communication is great, their understanding of my business and what I need is fabulous and they turn things around in super quick time. I highly recommend them and will be using them again and again as its just so easy and effortless!
We worked with Damion and the team at Tiger Law to get our new business set up with the essential contracts we needed and were extremely pleased with the service and products they delivered. Everything was explained simply and thoroughly and Damion was very quick to turn everything around. We needed a few rounds of amends to meet our specific needs, but nothing was ever too much trouble and the whole process ran very smoothly. The team were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient and I would recommend Tiger Law to anyone looking for legal support.
I reached out to Tiger Law as they came recommended from a friend. As a start-up I didn't know what I needed or what my requirements were. Damion Way was assigned to me and couldn't be more helpful. He spent time talking to me understanding what I wanted to accomplish and helped guide me. He went the extra mile with advice for me and produced everything I needed to get my business started to an exceptional standard giving me peace of mind knowing I'm fully legal and compliant. His sector knowledge and attention to detail was second to none and I know I won't be going anywhere else. Couldn't recommend Tiger Law more.
We wanted to enter into a software supplier contract with clarity on any areas of risk and advice on how they could be best mitigated. We had a tight time scale. Damion managed my expectations very well and his comments back to us were timely, clear and helpful – I would definitely recommend Tiger Law.
I came to Tiger Law with an urgent request for support finalising a contract, with a very fast turnaround. Damion was highly responsive, and immediately allocated time at short notice to get the work done. Throughout the process Damion was enormously helpful, quick to respond, proactive and also conscious of making efficient use of the agreed time. I can't recommend Tiger Law or Damion highly enough, and will continue to use them for all of our legal requirements.
Damion, we would like to take this opportunity to thank for all your help with the implementation of our EMI scheme. We went into this with a degree of trepidation as this was a massive undertaking for us. You however have helped make this a straightforward procedure and we thank you for your use of ‘plain speaking English’ to enable us to properly understand this new scheme. Should we have any further need of legal advice for our business we will definitely be in touch.

I would highly recommend Damion for providing me with expert services in writing our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and other documents to assist my software platform to go live. A very professional individual at really competitive prices. Thanks for giving me professional input and suggestions for my website, really helpful.
We were seeking recommendations after needing a number of documents reviewing and producing after being let down by another law firm. Luckily Damion at Tiger Law was recommended to us and he not only helped to turn things around under a tight deadline before Christmas, but also took the extra steps to ensure we were 100% comfortable on the advice and work received, as well as accommodating our calls and questions outside work hours. Really great to have found someone who isn’t shy of going the extra mile for the client. We won’t hesitate in with where to look and would definitely use Tiger Law again whenever needed.
We highly recommend Tiger Law, Damion is an absolute saviour. We came to Damion via a recommendation with a very short timeframe in urgent need of some assistance; not only did he meet and even exceed the deadline, but he couldn’t have been either more helpful or more friendly in doing so – very much appreciated and no complaints at all. Pleasure of an experience from start to finish and we definitely look forward to working with Tiger Law in the future.
Not the usual stuffiness you might expect from a law firm! Tiger Law have been approachable, helpful and professional. Everything in my contract is written in plain English (you don’t get that in many places) and with a superfast turnaround – what’s not to like?! I have received first class service from Tiger Law and highly recommend them. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Damion on what can only be described as a very dry subject so thanks for making it palatable Damion!
I engaged the services of Tiger Law to review a contract for a new business venture I was planning. Damion was assigned to review a contract that had been provided to me by the supplier to my business. Given that I know nothing about supplier contracts, I was understandable apprehensive about having to sign up to an agreement that had been generated by a third party. I felt much calmer knowing that I had the expertise of Damion and Tiger Law behind me. The whole experience was relatively quick and certainly painless. After a review of the documentation, Damion was able to reassure me that there was nothing too onerous in the contract, but made a number of appropriate updates where needed. Damion was really approachable, which has not always been my experience dealing with legal professionals and I felt comfortable raising questions, which he responded to in plain English for me. All very helpful. The work was completed thoroughly, professionally and very quickly and I honestly only have positive things to say about both Damion and Tiger Law.
I was initially drawn to Tiger Law for their modern feel and energetic approach. With Damion's experience in the financial services sector, he quickly assimilated my business/needs and it meant we were on the same page from the word go. I have no hesitation in recommending Tiger Law as a highly professional firm who are enjoyable to work with.

I worked with Damion from Tiger Law and it was an incredible experience. He was very professional and very receptive to my needs. He made sure that all my desired outcomes have been catered to in the T and C's and he went out of the way to understand my requirements and the details of the industry I am operating in and details about my clients. He was very quick in responding to me and I never even once had to chase him for anything. I absolutely felt that he knew his work and his area of expertise quite well.
Damion and his team provided excellent legal advice in a very complex subject matter. They executed the business transaction flawlessly and contributed significantly to the successful completion of the deal.
We have used Tiger Law for some years now and most recently they completed a rather unique contract for us on time and to budget, with a polished finish as always. Damion’s communication for the duration of the work was second to none. I’d always recommend their services for commercial and personal use.

It includes information on the regulation of the shareholders’ relationship with each other, the management of the company, ownership and transfer of company shares and the obligations and protections of shareholders. A properly drafted Shareholders’ Agreement should ensure that all shareholders are treated fairly and that their rights are protected. When a new company is first
