Mishcon de Reya has strengthened its corporate innovation offering with the appointment of Corporate Partner Phil Robinson, who brings extensive expertise in venture capital and technology within the innovation economy.
Phil’s practice focuses on supporting founders and high-growth businesses, advising them from incorporation through various funding rounds—including primary and secondary financings, convertibles, restructurings, US flips, and eventual exit strategies. He dedicates much of his time to representing investors backing these companies.
Phil is developing a founder-focused practice, designed to support founders personally, not just the companies they build. He understands that founders of growth businesses often face similar challenges and follow comparable journeys, yet their individual needs are frequently overlooked or misunderstood in favour of the company.
Charlie Fletcher, Head of our Corporate Innovation Venture Capital team, commented: "Our Innovation Economy practice is central to Mishcon's strategic vision, so we are delighted to welcome a partner of Phil's calibre. Phil will strengthen our corporate offering as we reinforce our commitment to providing the world's innovators with exceptional legal counsel."
