Sequel Advisory
Serious thinking, seriously connected.
Sequel is about connectors, not consultants. We've spent decades as lawyers advising on deals. We know how deals work. We've seen what can derail a transaction. We know the people who make them happen. We see the big picture, not just the legal side. More often than not, it isn't a lack of ambition. It's the wrong people involved. Or the right people, brought in too late. That's why we built Sequel.

What we do
Find opportunities and funding
We introduce you to the investors, private equity, family offices and funding partners who can actually do the deal.
Support with all or part of the deal
We bring in the senior bankers, wealth managers, CFOs and legal specialists your deal needs. We can run the whole process, or just part of it. Your choice. Either way, one of us stays on it, start to finish.

Why Sequel
Every deal is different
Whatever the deal calls for, we assemble the right people around you. Tax and legal advice comes through our relationship with Quastels LLP, or other trusted legal advisers with the right sector skills. Other professionals on the team are from a carefully selected number of specialists we trust with our own name.
You won't be handed off to a junior team. Every deal is led personally by one of us, start to finish.
