RPC Tectonic

Overview

RPC Tectonic is RPC’s legal accelerator programme focused on technology businesses which are addressing environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) issues.

Our aim is to support tech ventures operating at the cutting edge of the ESG world and to build deep, lasting relationships with businesses which go beyond legal advice.  

Every day we work with tech businesses of all sizes, across multiple industries and around the world. Our clients range from international tech giants to homegrown fintechs, from tech-focused investment funds to high-growth start-ups. Tech businesses turn to us to help them innovate, expand and defend their business models in an evolving market dominated by unprecedented opportunity, radical disruption and complex regulation. Delivering and managing the opportunities and risks technology presents is at the core of our business and our strategy. At the same time, we are passionate about ESG issues and using our position to support ambitious companies which are driving change. Sustainability, inclusion and diversity are at the heart of our values as a firm.

That’s why we’ve created RPC Tectonic.

The programme

RPC Tectonic will provide participants with a variety of different benefits, including:

  • advice: access to our expert team of lawyers to provide support in the areas you need it most – whether it’s business-critical or business-as-usual, you decide the areas where you need our help. Participants will receive up to £100,000 worth of legal advice in return for a small monthly fee
  • learning sessions: tailored learning sessions on a range of legal and non-legal topics, such as how to protect data properly, dealing with employment law issues and how to run a fundraising process
  • office access: ad hoc access to our stunning offices (in London, Bristol, Hong Kong or Singapore) for those all-important meetings
  • networking and events: invitations to various networking and industry events
  • template documents: access to our suite of template legal documents (like NDAs, employment contracts, convertible loans and many more besides)
