Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Expertise in a very niche area that’s potentially high risk. Great thought partners to help shape business need and regulatory compliance.’
‘Rosie Naylor is an excellent technical associate with good practical experience.’
'Electoral law is a highly specialised area, and of its nature somewhat cyclical. There are therefore only few law firms that devote time to such a practice. K&L Gates has long maintained a niche practice in this area, and having previously acted over many years for political parties and their candidates, the team now focuses more on the activities of non-party campaigners, i.e. those increasingly influential groups that seek to express a view in the context of an election, and their conduct is regulated as political parties are.'
'The team is led by partner Dylan Moses who has particular experience in handling complaints of unlawful conduct by political figures, and also includes senior associate Rosie Naylor who has particular experience in advising non-party campaigners and in dealing with the Electoral Commission, and from time to time providing internal training for comms departments at larger corporate and charities.'
