‘Shawn Atkison is a great lawyer. Provides very good advice, very pragmatic and always available.’
‘I have worked with Ylan for 12 years and in my opinion, and having worked with and opposite many lawyers, he is the strongest venture capital lawyer in London. He is generally surrounded by strong associates.’
‘Ylan is very bright and understands what is important to me and my firm. I feel I can give guidance, and this will translate into legal language that works for my needs.
- 'Most recently I worked with Ylan and his team on a significant minority transaction, which is slightly different to the late-stage venture deals we have generally worked on together. Having him on board meant that we won a lot of valuable points around consent and control that I would not normally have expected to win. He has an easy manner with the other side as well which helps get to agreement with little conflict or bruising.’
