Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘I have always found the Kuits Corporate team to be very professional, technically strong and resourceful, who have supported us well in a range of contractual situations and given us the confidence to know that we will always be equipped with the best legal advice in any such situation. When necessary, they have always been able to turn work around to tight deadlines (literally next day), whilst maintaining tight administrative control of more drawn out scope of works.’

  • ‘I have worked with a couple of staff at Kuits this year that have stood out with regard to a couple of briefs they have worked on respectively. Kirsti Pinnell - again showing excellent technical knowledge and client communication skills, Kirsti supported us with great skill, commitment and tenacity during negotiations with a much larger entity, enabling us to successfully punch above our weight in these negotiations.’

  • ‘The team at Kuit Steinart Levy LLP provide pragmatic commercial advice and we have found them to provide excellent value during all our dealings with them.’

  • ‘Kate Gledhill, Senior Associate in the Corporate team, has been fantastic for the last 12 months. She has provided us with expert advice on various corporate matters for our group and its subsidiaries - cutting through corporate jargon to provide us with actionable and commercial guidance that we have used to grow and maximise profits. She has always done exactly what she said she would do when she would do it and is a reliable partner for us moving forward who we would highly recommend to other directors looking for a trusted partner.’

  • ‘Sound understanding of the technicalities involved in UK corporate transactions. Cost effective and pragmatic.’

  • ‘Kirsti Pinnell has delivered great service over many years, capably backed up by Kate Gledhill.’

  • ‘They have a great variety of solicitors in different fields so pretty much all areas are covered, which makes it a great "one stop shop" for all law advice. However the team is very close knit, so everyone knows each other and very aware of their specialities.’

  • ‘The team has significant experience in M&A activities. We have been impressed with their knowledge of the legal process and the ability to project manage a transaction to completion.’
