Natasha Good

Freshfields

One of Britain’s fastest-growing unicorns has relied on Freshfields partner Natasha Good to guide it though its burgeoning success story. Good has been online car retailer Cazoo’s lawyer of choice through multiple acquisitions, as well as supporting it on its series D funding round. Last year brought a crowning moment for the magic circle stalwart: working on the $7bn US De-SPAC of Cazoo as it debuted on the New York Stock Exchange. The deal is one of the handful of SPAC combinations between a UK business and a US combined SPAC — making it bespoke for a UK transaction.

Good is at the helm of Freshfields’ technology, media and telecoms offering. Last year she took the team to revenue growth of more than 30 per cent, after top roles on some of the most anticipated M&A tech deals across continental Europe. With her tech credentials, Good is an influential figure as Freshfields attempts to build its Silicon Valley offering, launched in 2020, and she will continue to play a central role in deals involving the firm’s US offices.
