"We were initially apprehensive that a major corporate law firm like Shepherd and Wedderburn would have the inclination to provide a bespoke and personal service to a two-person start up. But our concern was misplaced and we received excellent advice, and their Start to Scale Hub has proved invaluable in providing Seascape with various template documents such as NDAs. We would recommend them to any start-up, however small."
