Food and Beverage
We regularly work with up and coming food and drinks brands establishing themselves as household names in the UK and internationally. Our mission to make legal services innovative and entrepreneurial is particularly applicable to this space where we need to match the dynamism of our clients.
We understand that food and beverage SMEs often encounter a wide range of challenges, with everything from navigating complex regulations, to negotiating commercial manufacturing and distribution arrangements, to onboarding celebrity brand partners.
That's why we've cultivated deep expertise in this domain, allowing us to serve as a trusted partner to our food and beverage sector clients.
Our approach to legal services in the food and beverage industry is characterised by the same values that drive us — transparency, trust, innovation, empathy, and critical thinking. We believe that legal support should be a catalyst for growth, not a hindrance, and we work closely with startups in this sector, providing agile legal solutions that align with their unique needs.
Whether you're building a new food or drinks brand, expanding the way you sell your products, or developing tech solutions in this space, we're here to simplify your legal needs, offering clear guidance and certainty. We are more than just legal advisors; you can come to us as your on-call, in-house legal team, ensuring that your business is built on strong legal foundation that your company needs to thrive.
Our service is built around helping you draft or negotiate legal documents, complete any legal processes, project manage your legal workflows, and negotiate informed deals with both short and long-term growth in mind.
At Accelerate Law, we are here to empower your journey in the food and beverage industry, providing the legal support you need to build and share incredible products and experiences in this evolving landscape.
What our clients say
We initially needed legal advice for our first funding round in 2019 and have since worked repeatedly with the Accelerate Law team across our follow-on funding, EMI Scheme, various shareholder matters and commercial contracts. The team, led by Simon, has enabled us to continue to grow with trusted legal support so we could focus on what we do best! Our expectations have been exceeded throughout. We particularly recommend Simon and co for the friendly, cost-effective and comprehensive advice with fast turnaround.

We now have a trusted partner to turn to whenever we need legal advice and assistance. Accelerate Law supported us with all the documentation for our fundraise, EMI options set up, and all associated support. The rapid and comprehensive communications with the legal team throughout the whole process exceeded our expectations. I definitely recommend Accelerate Law, they offer a great service that is also affordable and accessible for startups.
Mingqiao Zhao
Co-founder, Cauli
Accelerate Law helped us with our investment round and, since the beginning, they made us feel comfortable that we were implementing the right legal structure both internally, between founders, and externally, with investors. That has allowed us to grow quickly, avoid internal disputes, and confidently get ready for fundraising. In addition, the commercial advice given by the Accelerate law team was invaluable. They were able to offer the best commercial legal solutions that fit Pancho Datos and our business model. I definitely recommend Accelerate Law for their commercial advice, efficiency and value for money.
