Harry Upshall

Solicitor


Why choose me

I’m a combination of legal adviser, risk manager and project coordinator. I help clients achieve their commercial objectives while explaining complex legal concepts in a way they can easily understand and act on.

I act for start-ups, owner-managed businesses, private equity houses and private equity-backed corporates on a wide range of legal matters. I also gained experience in distressed sale and acquisitions, international contracts, insurance and restructuring and insolvency during my training contract.

I enjoy working on complex transactions involving layered financing, multiple stakeholders and intricate legal mechanics. Corporate law suits people who thrive under pressure, and I enjoy the challenge of problem-solving while building strong relationships with my clients.

My clients’ needs always come first. I work at their pace, taking a practical and commercially focused approach to deliver what matters most to them. I ensure transactions run efficiently, cutting through the noise to focus on the points that genuinely move the needle.

Outside work, I enjoy challenging myself through team and endurance sports, as well as winding down through travel.

Questions my clients ask me

As a corporate lawyer, it’s my job to identify when input is needed from tax, employment, pensions, real estate, intellectual property or other specialists, and to coordinate that input effectively.

Managing expectations around timing is a key part of my role. Regularly checking in with clients on timelines and any changes helps keep them informed and reassured.

Providing guidance on post-completion logistics and any ongoing obligations arising from a transaction is just as important as completing the transaction itself.
