Through Overmorrow we will introduce our investor clients to sector opportunities, and help our sector clients deliver on their strategic vision.'

Non-legal businesses

Wiggin CEO, John Banister, said: 'Wiggin was one of the first firms to invest in, and set up, non-legal businesses – it's a field in which we've had considerable success. Our business model, which is to focus on our specialist sectors of Media, Technology and IP, means that we're in a great position to spot opportunities in the market. Our strategy is to be flexible and assertive in meeting those market demands with investment. We are excited to launch this new advisory service which will benefit from our unique combination of sector knowledge, contacts and legal expertise.'
