A focused practice. A clear relationship.

Clients should know who is responsible for their matter and how the work will progress. We bring together a named lead and a focused supporting team, with roles and responsibilities agreed at the outset.

Muklesur’s work connects commercial and technology agreements, financial regulation and the practical questions faced by founders and growing businesses. His approach is to understand the commercial objective, make the key choices clear and define the work around them.

His background includes work connected with the Crown Prosecution Service. City’s alumni network later profiled his involvement in its Launch Lab entrepreneurial community and his move towards technology-facing work. That history provides context for his interests today; the practice’s present focus is advisory and transactional, not court representation.

He writes on the intersection of finance and technology, including contributions to FT Adviser. His involvement in AI Founders Connect adds a continuing connection to founders, investors and emerging technology businesses. That community work remains separate from the firm’s legal services.

Team enquiry: Discuss a matter through the firm's Contact page.

Every matter starts with its objective and scope. We identify the responsible adviser, the work to be undertaken and the fee basis. Where a transaction needs additional specialist advice, we identify that requirement rather than presenting every discipline as an in-house service.

Our focus is advisory and transactional work. We do not conduct litigation or provide court representation.

Two FT Adviser contributions are linked below, separately from professional participation and wider-community connections.

Westminster & Partners sponsors AI Founders Connect, an organisation convening AI founders, investors and industry participants. Its programme brings together founder presentations, investor discussions and networking, creating opportunities to exchange perspectives on emerging businesses and technologies. These community activities sit alongside, and are distinct from, the firm’s legal practice. Details of the initiative and participation opportunities are available directly through its own website.

Westminster & Partners operates through Alderwick & Co. LLC, a limited liability company formed in New York, United States. New York Department of State ID: 8027460.

We maintain London contact details and a New York correspondence address. See Contact for full details; the scope of advice is agreed before an engagement.

We first consider the nature of the matter, conflicts and our ability to act. If the matter is suitable, we agree the scope, responsibilities and engagement terms before work begins. Fees are discussed in the context of the work required and any assumptions or dependencies.
