iLaw

iLaw is a boutique commercial law firm based in the City of London, established in 2006 to provide high-quality legal services without the constraints of traditional City practices. The firm primarily serves entrepreneurial businesses and individuals, including high-profile clients such as former participants of Dragons' Den and rapidly growing technology companies. While iLaw has a strong focus on the technology and media sectors, its client base spans a wide range of industries.

Recognised for its innovative approach—particularly in fee structures tailored to suit specific client needs—iLaw offers services across corporate and commercial law, dispute resolution, employment, commercial property, and regulatory matters. It is also a founder member of the International Commercial Law Alliance (ICLA), enabling access to cross-border expertise and resources.

The firm’s dispute resolution practice handles matters ranging from complex international fraud and defamation to insolvency and debt claims, with notable experience in intellectual property and banking disputes. The team notably represented nine defendants in JSC BTA Bank v Ablyazov, one of the largest cases to be heard in the English courts.

iLaw’s corporate and commercial team advises on mergers and acquisitions, investments, joint ventures, and general corporate governance, as well as commercial agreements involving licensing, development, outsourcing, and procurement.

The employment practice covers both domestic and cross-border matters, including TUPE, redundancy, and contentious employment issues. The firm has acted for former senior banking professionals and is experienced in advising employment agencies and related businesses.

In commercial property, the firm assists clients with acquisitions, disposals, secured lending, leasing, and development matters, offering a comprehensive service for business clients. Its regulatory team advises on data protection, freedom of information, e-commerce, advertising, competition, and procurement compliance.
