They have been our trusted legal partners since we started the business and have been instrumental in supporting our growth over the last 20 years.

They have been a great legal partner and we look forward to working with them for many years to come. Thank you Phil and the whole team.”
Phil Hails-Smith, Managing Partner at Joelson, added:
“We are delighted to have supported Charlie and the rest of the management team at our longstanding and valued client, With Intelligence. I can confidently say that With Intelligence’s offering to the global asset management community is extremely unique and we are proud to have been part of this incredible growth journey with Charlie and this illustrates how we can help and support a great founder and a great team to achieve phenomenal growth and success.
