Join our founder Shainul Kassam as she takes the stage at Legaltechtalk

Shainul will be on a panel debating the topic: "What if you were to build a law firm from the ground up?" and who better to provide answers from her personal experiences of starting a London based law firm solo?

Legal Tech Talk is one of Europe’s leading events for legal transformation, and is happening in London on 17–18 June.

Bringing together legal professionals, innovators and industry leaders, the key focus is on how technology is reshaping the way law is practised and delivered.

Shainul will be joining an outstanding line‑up of speakers to share insights on the intersection of law, technology and business, and what this means in practice for firms and their clients.

In our experience, most founders understand the significance of a shareholders’ agreement. What is often missing however is the knowledge as to what needs to be included, omitted or negotiated.

It gives structure to how a business is run, how decisions are made and how relationships between shareholders are expected to work in practice. When expectations are clear from the outset, there is far less room for misunderstanding later.

It also allows sensitive commercial arrangements to remain private, rather than sitting in public constitutional documents, and provides a framework for dealing with change. Whether that is a new investor coming in, a founder stepping away or shares being transferred, having a defined process in place avoids uncertainty at exactly the wrong time.

Perhaps most importantly, it creates balance. Minority shareholders know where they stand and how their interests are protected, while majority shareholders can operate with clarity and confidence. That combination is often what makes a business more attractive to investors and more resilient as it grows.

Well drafted agreements do not just sit in a drawer. They shape behaviour, support decision making and quietly prevent issues from escalating into disputes.

If you would like to sense check your current arrangements or put the right foundations in place, we are happy to help.

We’re looking forward to getting out there and doing our part. If you have already supported us, thank you, it genuinely makes a difference.

If not, there’s still time to donate and help ensure more people can access justice 👉 https://londonlegalsupporttrust.enthuse.com/pf/fortune-law-2026

This month is Pride Month, a time to recognise and celebrate the importance of inclusion, respect and equality.

At Fortune Law, those values are part of our foundation. Our firm was built on breaking barriers and doing things differently, from our founder starting the practice against the odds, to the way we continue to support ambitious founders shaping their own paths.

We work closely with entrepreneurs and growing businesses every day, and we see first hand how culture influences success. The strongest businesses are those where people feel able to contribute fully, where diverse perspectives are valued and where respect underpins decision making.

As a firm that partners with founders building something new, we understand that progress, whether in business or society, comes from challenging norms and creating space for different voices.

Pride Month is a reminder that inclusion is not just something to acknowledge, but something to actively build into the way we work, support our clients and grow as a business.

M&A deals bring together commercial ambition, legal complexity and significant risk. Timelines are tight, information is sensitive and decisions taken early can have long‑term consequences. Having the right legal advisers involved from the outset makes a real difference.

Experienced M&A lawyers know where deals typically derail. They focus on risk allocation, identify hidden liabilities, manage due diligence efficiently and help keep negotiations aligned with your commercial objectives, whether you are buying, selling or investing.

At Fortune Law, we advise on asset and share sales, acting for both buyers and sellers. We support businesses through every stage of the process, including sale preparation, deal structuring, due diligence, confidentiality and completion. We also advise on management buyouts and buy‑ins, and act for private and public companies.

A successful deal is not just about completion. It is about clarity, protection and avoiding issues that surface long after the ink has dried.

If you are considering a sale, acquisition or strategic exit, early advice can save time, cost and uncertainty later.

AI can be a powerful tool but it does not replace professional responsibility. ❌

Used properly, AI can improve efficiency, support internal analysis and reduce administrative burden. For many businesses and legal teams, it is already becoming part of everyday workflows.

However, personal and professional obligations cannot be delegated to technology. Any work generated with the help of AI must be carefully checked to ensure it is accurate, real and truthful.

Mistakes can happen. If they do, the key is how they are handled. Errors, particularly in contentious or court related contexts, should be corrected promptly and transparently. Courts expect honesty and accountability, and taking responsibility matters.

As AI becomes more embedded in business decision making, it is essential that its use aligns with legal best practice and risk management. This includes having the right internal policies in place and understanding where the boundaries lie.

At Fortune Law, we advise startups and scaleups on how AI is being integrated into their businesses, helping them manage risk while making the most of its benefits.

If you are reviewing your approach to AI, considering litigation, or want a clear view of your legal position, we are happy to help.

At Fortune Law, we work with founders, start‑ups and scale‑ups at every stage of growth, providing clear, pragmatic advice across corporate, commercial and IP matters.

We are specialists in shareholder disputes, and our experience consistently shows that many disputes can be avoided altogether.

The key is putting in place well‑thought‑through, properly negotiated shareholder agreements early on, and making sure they are fully aligned with the company’s articles of association, employment contracts and and board governance documents.

When these documents work together, businesses scale with confidence. When they don’t, problems tend to surface at the worst possible moment.

We’re delighted to be taking part in the London Legal Walk again this year. 👣

Our Fortune Law team - Shainul Kassam, Flo Daniells, Kim Ninh, Carina Wong, Kaya Jenner, Peggy and John West, Arvind Devalia and Rebecca Brenner will be walking alongside the Lady Chief Justice and thousands of others in the legal profession to raise funds for the London Legal Support Trust (LLST).

The London Legal Walk raises vital support for free legal advice charities across London and the South East, helping people who would otherwise be unable to afford legal help. With around 14 million people in the UK living in poverty, access to justice remains a real challenge for many.

Every step we take helps ensure that individuals and families can receive the legal support they need when it matters most.

Please support our walkers if you can. Every donation makes a difference. 👉 https://londonlegalsupporttrust.enthuse.com/pf/fortune-law-2026

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and an opportunity to recognise just how closely mental wellbeing and legal issues are connected for our clients.

Legal matters rarely arrive in isolation. Disputes, restructures, shareholder fallouts or litigation usually sit alongside significant personal and commercial pressure. For many people, legal problems arise at moments of uncertainty, stress or real vulnerability.

The legal profession itself is also not immune. Research by LawCare shows that nearly seven in ten legal professionals have experienced mental health difficulties during their careers. That context matters, because clear advice and sound judgment rely on people who are supported, focused and able to think calmly under pressure.

At Fortune Law, good legal advice is not just technically correct, but it is delivered with perspective, empathy and realism. Whether you are navigating conflict, making difficult decisions or planning next steps for your business, how those conversations are handled matters.

Mental health awareness underpins trust, decision making and the quality of outcomes for clients. 💚
