CMS Scotland's equIP programme focuses on providing early stage companies access to legal support well as other benefits. We don't want top quality legal advice to be seen as out of reach, because we believe that having the right foundations are imperative to scale successfully, especially when investors are involved.
At these CMS equIP 'office hours' you can meet members of the CMS equIP team to discuss an area which might be particularly challenging right now or you envisage will be as your company grows. What's more, they've made it available to our SG family absolutely free!
