The firm

Senior people, on every deal.

No leverage pyramid, no juniors learning on your deal. Every VSQ matter is led by a partner or counsel who has closed hundreds of deals - backed by an AI workflow that does the heavy lifting.

dr.Krisztian Barta

Partner & Lead Advisor

Krisztian leads VSQ's practice. Over 9 years he has closed more than £4 billion in deals - from founders' first SAFEs to nine-figure priced rounds and ten-figure private equity M&A deals and financings. He trained at Clifford Chance in London and practised in the firm's London and São Paulo offices, with prior experience in the Milan and Budapest offices of Baker McKenzie and the Nanjing office of Dacheng (then Dentons). He founded VSQ to prove elite-quality deal work doesn't need elite-firm price or timelines.

Our network

A bench of senior specialists.

VSQ keeps a lean senior bench, and you are never limited by it. Behind every matter sits a wide network of trusted local counsel teams and specialists we bring in exactly when a deal needs them, from tax structuring and cross-border experts to employment advisers and pre-action litigators and arbitrators. We coordinate them, run the workstreams and keep a single named partner accountable from first call to completion. The result is a full-service law firm experience, drawing on precisely the right expertise for each matter, without the overheads or the premium of a magic circle firm.

How we work

The principles behind every engagement.

Speed is a feature

We measure ourselves in days, not billable hours. The faster you close, the sooner you build.

Rigour, never optional

AI does the drafts; every word that reaches you is owned by a named partner with magic circle and elite law firm training. You get that calibre of quality on every matter.

Always reachable

We are always on call and easy to reach - by email, phone or WhatsApp, whenever you need us. We are responsive and make a point of getting back to clients as fast as we can.

What our clients say
"VSQ is genuinely at the front of the AI revolution. They set up our governance and AI-service compliance and helped us build the company from the very beginning to our first £1m in revenue."
