Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘Client-centric, pragmatic and provides clear concise advice.’

• ‘Incredibly helpful, great to deal with.’

• ‘We have used Gateley for a variety of corporate acquisitions and disposals over a number of years. The team are very proficient at identifying key areas of risk and working to achievable timetables. We place particular value on stability of the Gateley team who know how we operate and are prepared to go that 'extra mile' and work late into the evening / weekend.'

• 'We have found Gateleys to be one of a few legal practices who are prepared to offer fixed fee quotes and to honour agreements when costs escalate.’

• ‘Whilst individuals have particular areas of expertise - transactional, corporate, property, tax, IP etc. they work as a team and communicate. It is rare we have to question explain something twice. In the event a team member is ill, or on leave, there is always another associate or partner who is aware of the transaction and available to provide answers.'

• 'Stand-out partners are Kate Richards and Rebecca Grisewood in the corporate team. Both are experienced commercial lawyers who understand a clients needs and help deliver a transaction on time and to budget. They can hold their ground without being adversarial and rarely engage in 'point scoring' with other lawyers.'
