Founder Interview: James Sutton of Avantia Law

 

“Do I want to spend the next ten years building this company with these people?”

For Avantia Law founder James Sutton, that was one of the biggest questions when raising capital for the first time. Avantia Law, Hoxton portfolio company, was recently acquired by Carta to launch Carta Law, the largest AI-native, integrated legal and compliance solution for private markets

In this conversation with Managing Partner Hussein Kanji, James shares what stood out about working with Hoxton from day one:

→ conviction before consensus

→ support before investment

→ and advice grounded in pattern recognition, not playbooks

“One of the biggest deltas between Hoxton and other firms was that I always felt comfortable picking up the phone and saying: we’ve got a problem,” said James.
