Do you heart QualitySolicitors?
Friday, 20 September 2013I’ve spent the last two days at the QualitySolicitors conference in Manchester. I was invited to chair the opening session of the event and stayed to listen to the rest.

With private equity it’s generally later-stage companies that are invested in, that have a proven track record and room for growth. Every investment is fully expected to succeed.
