Partner - Corporate
Brigitta is a partner in Harper James’ corporate team, specialising in M&A, sales, equity fundraising, joint venture arrangements, share reorganisations, management buy-outs, lending arrangements and corporate governance.
"I enjoy the variety of businesses and sectors that our clients operate in, which makes no two days the same. It’s great to see a business grow and develop from start-up to beyond. My client approach is pragmatic and commercial."
Brigitta trained and qualified as a corporate solicitor in 2002 with a multinational law firm. She also spent several years working in-house in the semiconductor technology sector, managing a global legal team and advising on cross-border acquisitions, investments, divestments, integration and intercompany arrangements.
"My in-house experience was an eye-opener to corporate procedures and processes. This enables me to be far more commercial in my legal approach and provides an understanding of the challenges faced by general counsels and the demands of management. It also enabled me to understand at a deeper level the specific legal challenges facing technology businesses."
As well as the technology sector, Brigitta advises clients in a wide variety of other sectors including biotechnology, commercial property development, food and drink, professional services, transport and haulage, general manufacturing and engineering and retail.
Work highlights include:
Outside of work, Brigitta spends a lot of her time keeping fit.
"I spend most of my spare time walking the Labradoodle on the local hill known as the Gogs, trying to fit in a gym or swimming session and catching up on current affairs."
TESTIMONIALS
Choosing Harper James was the best decision we made during this process. At one point, we felt stuck and struggled with providing certain documentation. Brigitta and the team knew how to explain what was needed and suddenly the process became much clearer. The guidance we received helped us avoid unnecessary delays and expenses. It made all the difference.
Steve Carrod Co-Founder, DMPG
The switchover process from our previous advisors was incredibly smooth. Brigitta was efficient, fast, and quickly understood our requirements. Her pragmatic approach helped us cut through the legal complexities, and we were able to achieve our goal within the tight timeframe.

Gabriel Hughes CEO, Metageni
Brigitta, Alex, Genevieve, Adam and the wider team always helpful and understanding of borrowers expectations. They are efficient and diligent in all property and corporate finance documentation.
Leon Foxwell Lending Director, Bloomsbury Property Finance Limited
Brigitta’s always there, she listens and really understands us. In terms of turning things around quickly, it’s been fantastic. Speed was something that became very critical towards the end of the investment round. Bringing funding together when you've got a number of parties involved, especially keeping them happy, can be a stressful time. Brigitta was really supportive of that. We felt like she always had our best interests protected.
