Jamie Hamilton

Jump to:

I specialise in M&A, venture capital and private equity. I have over 15 years’ experience advising high-growth companies, investors and founders on capital raises, acquisitions, exits and joint ventures. My practice focuses on transactions involving UK technology and other companies across a wide range of sectors, frequently with cross-border aspects.

I have extensive experience acting on M&A, venture and growth capital transactions involving high-growth companies, in which I represent PE or VC investors and buyers as well as companies, founders and management teams. I particularly enjoy the challenge of structuring transactions in order to strike the balance of alignment of interests between founders and investors that is crucial to success. I also enjoy bringing the diverse range of expertise within Fladgate to bear in order to help our clients to achieve their goals.

A lot of my work is international and I enjoy working with clients and lawyers in other countries. I have particular experience advising clients based in western and central Europe and the eastern United States.

Away from work, I am passionate about many outdoor activities and am usually happiest in the mountains or in or around water. I am also a keen guitarist and bagpiper.

Jamie Hamilton and India-Rose May were both excellent. I see them as trusted advisers to our business as a whole. They have a broad range of expertise and knowledge and are adept at picking up new or unusual challenges, of which we have thrown many at them. Their ability to be flexible and adapt to our ever changing business with a wide variety of legal challenges really sets them apart and they have always risen to the challenge.
