Posted on 7 April 2026

Corporate Partner, Charlie Fletcher, has written a new opinion piece for The Standard, contending that London’s appeal to founders and high growth companies remains as strong as ever; particularly when viewed as the commercial centre of the Oxford, Cambridge and London innovation corridor.

In the article, Charlie challenges the familiar narrative of wealth and talent drifting abroad. He highlights the strengths of the corridor, pointing to the “extraordinary research depth” coming out of Oxford, Cambridge and London’s leading universities, and the way this combines with the capital’s density of investors, commercial partners and specialist advisers.

Read Charlie’s full article, “Ignore the knockers, London is still a fabulous hub for founders”, on The Standard's website.
