Robert Wieder
Trusted UK/EU Partner for US Startup & growth companies and their legal teams
About
Wieder Law is a boutique corporate practice advising technology companies, founders and investors on UK and European matters, particularly in cross-border transactions involving US counsel.
We regularly act as UK/EU local counsel to venture-backed and scaling technology and other companies expanding into Europe, assisting with UK entity formation, corporate structuring, investment rounds, shareholder arrangements, M&A and cross-border governance. We also assist in complex disputes.
We frequently work alongside US startup and venture lawyers on cross-border structuring, financings and exits and also problem solving. We understand US deal mechanics, documentation standards and investor expectations, and translate them efficiently into UK/EU legal frameworks.
Our approach is partner-led, commercially focused and execution-driven. For US counsel, we aim to be a responsive, technically precise and pragmatic UK/EU counterpart — enabling smooth cross-border execution, minimising friction between jurisdictions and protecting the commercial objectives of the transaction without unnecessary complexity.
