Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The quality of the litigation team at Kuits is, in my view, second to none in Manchester. Each member that I have had the opportunity to work with is conscientious, considered and hardworking. There is an ethos within the team that encourages thinking outside the box to gain a tactical advantage whilst always being mindful of the risks of litigation.’

  • ‘Damian Bailey, Peter Kaye and Richard Wilson - These are all very shrewd operators who are highly experienced with excellent instincts. They are each astute and thoughtful litigators who are prepared to go the extra mile for their clients. That said none are afraid to give clients difficult advice nor to highlight problematic attitudes or issues in the case. This means that clients proceed in litigation without any doubt as to the strengths and weaknesses of their case often to a successful conclusion.’

  • ‘Peter Kaye is a very experienced lawyer with sound judgment and great client care. He is the best senior solicitor I have met at encouraging young talented lawyers to excel. A supportive and generous spirit.'

  • 'Daniel Adcock-Kirsh is conscientious and hard-working and has a great rapport with clients and opposing solicitors.'
  • 'Francesca Geddes is very responsive and provides swift instructions when requested.'
  • 'Richard Wilson is an upcoming talent with great people skills.’
  • ‘One of Manchester's leading mid-sized commercial litigation teams, with solicitors with a range of skills and expertise and a loyal following of clients from across the local business community. They are very good at ensuring client expectations are met and dealing with cases swiftly and at reasonable cost.’

  • ‘Peter Kaye is a very experienced lawyer with sound judgment and great client care. He is the best senior solicitor I have met at encouraging young talented lawyers to excel. A supportive and generous spirit.'
