Charles Mendoza

Solicitor


Why choose me

I guide businesses and investors through complex transactions at key moments of change and growth. I focus on helping clients achieve their strategic objectives, whether that’s through investment, acquisitions and sales, or supporting owners in realising long-term value.

I advise on a broad range of corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions (both share and asset deals), demergers, joint ventures, restructurings and corporate governance. I also have experience advising on partnership formation, governance and reorganisations.

I work with a wide range of clients, including national and international companies with UK subsidiaries, SMEs, owner-managed businesses, investors and high net worth individuals. My experience spans a variety of sectors, including technology, manufacturing, fashion, agriculture and renewable energy, as well as partnerships and family offices.

Clients value my approachable and responsive style, particularly during high-pressure transactions. I’m driven and committed to getting deals over the line efficiently, while focusing on maximising value and managing risk.

I take the time to understand each client’s business, sector and growth strategy so I can provide commercially driven advice that supports their wider objectives. I build strong working relationships and aim to become a long-term, strategic partner, adding value beyond pure risk management.

Outside work, I’m passionate about sport and enjoy both playing and watching whenever I can – particularly football as a lifelong Arsenal fan, as well as rugby, golf and tennis. I also enjoy travelling, exploring new cultures and cuisines, and discovering new restaurants with family and friends.

Questions my clients ask me

To give the classic lawyer answer – it depends. Various factors can impact a deal timeline. I’ll do all I can to keep things moving, communicating clearly and negotiating efficiently to progress matters while protecting your interests. There may be some delays or setbacks, but I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure your commercial and legal position is protected.

You might consider investing your own funds, bringing in a new business partner or seeking external investment such as venture capital or private equity. Whatever your plans, we can help set out a roadmap, explore the available options and, where needed, introduce you to trusted advisers within our network.

Absolutely. We regularly advise on complex international corporate structures and are well placed to support you, whether you’re looking to simplify your structure, buy, sell or take on investment. HCR Law is a member of LawExchange International – an international network of likeminded independent commercial law firms – so wherever your business has a presence, a member firm with whom we have an excellent relationship will be able to provide advice in that jurisdiction.
