Legal Information.
Terms governing access to this website, its communications and the information made available through it.
Last updated: 8 October 2026
This Site is intended for professional, institutional and other eligible counterparties where permitted by applicable law. It is not a retail investment site, a fund-distribution website or a public securities offering.
Terms of Access
This website (the “Site”) is intended solely for professional and institutional clients and other eligible counterparties, where permitted under applicable law. It is not directed at, or intended for, retail or private investors. By accessing or using this Site, you confirm that you are legally permitted to do so and, where applicable, satisfy the relevant criteria for access in your jurisdiction.
Access to this Site and the information contained herein may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. Persons accessing the Site are responsible for informing themselves of, and complying with, all laws and regulations applicable to them. If you are not permitted to access this Site or its contents under the laws or regulations applicable to you, you must not proceed.
This Site is maintained on an entirely non-U.S. basis and is not directed at, or intended for access or use by, any U.S. Person or any person located in the United States, its territories or possessions. Nothing contained herein is intended to constitute an offer or solicitation in the United States or to any U.S. Person. For these purposes, “U.S. Person” has the meaning given to that term under Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Regulatory Status & Operating Perimeter
Bratton Richards conducts its activities within the applicable legal and regulatory framework and maintains a deliberately defined operating perimeter. The firm’s intended scope is centred on strategic and corporate advisory, mergers and acquisitions, ownership transitions, special situations and proprietary or control-oriented transactions.
Bratton Richards is not presented through this Site as a FINMA- or FCA-authorised financial-services firm. This Site should not be interpreted as an undertaking to provide any regulated service in any jurisdiction. Whether authorisation, registration, approval or another regulatory permission is required is activity- and jurisdiction-specific and depends upon the facts, the parties, the instruments involved and the services actually performed.
Where a proposed mandate contains an activity that would require a permission Bratton Richards does not hold, Bratton Richards does not undertake that activity in that form. The scope may be limited or restructured, or an appropriately authorised independent provider may be engaged under separate terms where suitable.
Activities outside the intended perimeter
The Site is not used to offer asset or portfolio management, investor-side investment advice, securities placement or distribution, fund management, custody, deposit-taking, client-money services or retail investment services.
No client money or assets
The public website is not a mechanism for receiving client money, subscription proceeds, securities, custody assets or payment instructions. Visitors should not transmit such assets or instructions through the Site.
No public fundraising or distribution
Nothing on the Site is intended to constitute capital raising, fundraising, placement or distribution of securities or fund interests, an offering memorandum, prospectus, subscription invitation or public solicitation of capital.
Mandate-by-mandate assessment
Any formal engagement is documented separately and considered against the legal, regulatory and conflict requirements applicable to the particular matter and jurisdiction.
Important Information
The information, materials and opinions contained on this Site are provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing contained herein constitutes, or should be construed as, an offer, solicitation or invitation to purchase, subscribe for or sell any investment, security, financial instrument, product, strategy or transaction, nor does it constitute a financial promotion, investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice or any other professional advice or personal recommendation.
No information contained on this Site should be regarded as sufficient for the purposes of making an investment, commercial or other decision. Persons considering any transaction or course of action should undertake their own independent assessment and obtain such professional advice as they consider appropriate to their individual circumstances.
Bratton Richards conducts its activities within the applicable legal and regulatory framework. Nothing on this Site should be read as a representation that a particular activity is exempt from authorisation or regulation in all circumstances. Any formal mandate is scoped by reference to the activities actually to be performed and the jurisdictions involved.
Bratton Richards uses reasonable care in preparing and maintaining information published on this Site. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is nevertheless made as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, suitability or continued availability of any information contained herein. Information may be amended, supplemented, updated or withdrawn at any time without notice and may cease to be current.
Certain information may include estimates, expectations, projections, intentions or other forward-looking statements. Such statements are inherently subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties, and actual outcomes may differ materially from those expressed or implied. Bratton Richards is under no obligation to update forward-looking statements solely because circumstances or expectations subsequently change, except where required by law.
All information is provided as of 19 September 2026, unless otherwise stated.
Restricted Information & Communications
Certain information, materials and areas of this Site may be made available only to authorised users. Access is personal and non-transferable and may be granted, restricted, suspended or withdrawn at the discretion of Bratton Richards. Access credentials must not be disclosed to or used by any other person.
Information made available through restricted areas may be confidential and may not be copied, reproduced, forwarded, distributed, disclosed or otherwise made available to any third party except where expressly authorised. Access to restricted information does not create or imply any client, advisory, fiduciary, investment, partnership or other business relationship with Bratton Richards.
A request for access constitutes a request for consideration only. Submission or review of a request does not confer any right or entitlement to access, nor does it oblige Bratton Richards to enter into any relationship, provide information or respond to any proposal.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, users should not submit confidential, proprietary or commercially sensitive information through this Site. Receipt or review of any unsolicited business plan, proposal, opportunity or other material does not create any obligation of confidentiality, exclusivity or non-use. Bratton Richards may independently consider, pursue or participate in opportunities, businesses or transactions which are similar to, overlap with, or compete with matters submitted to it.
Electronic communications and transmission of information over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be secure, uninterrupted or error-free. While reasonable measures may be taken to protect the Site and information transmitted through it, Bratton Richards does not guarantee the security, integrity or delivery of electronic communications.
Conflicts, Interests & Non-Exclusivity
Bratton Richards may from time to time have relationships, interests, knowledge or other engagements relevant to businesses, sectors, counterparties or situations referred to on the Site or submitted to the firm. Any actual conflict arising in connection with a formal engagement will be considered in the context of the applicable engagement terms, professional obligations and legal requirements.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the receipt or review of an introduction, proposal, business plan, transaction idea or other unsolicited material does not create exclusivity and does not restrict Bratton Richards from considering, advising upon, engaging with or pursuing other businesses, counterparties, opportunities or transactions, including matters that may be similar to or competitive with a submitted opportunity.
Users should not infer from the Site, from an initial conversation or from the receipt of information that Bratton Richards has accepted a mandate, assumed a fiduciary duty, agreed to act exclusively or undertaken to avoid other opportunities.
