Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘Gunnercooke is a unique practice and because of its model, there is no doubt that each solicitor puts clients and cases before business.'

• ‘Dual-qualified solicitor and chartered surveyor Tom Seabrook is knowledgeable and sensible. Kelly Kirby's knowledge is second-to-none.’

• ‘The 'partnership' model, whereby each fee earner operates what is effectively an independent practice supported by central resourcing, allows the solicitors to play to their strengths. It also means that the solicitors develop strong rapport with their clients which leads not only to tenacious pursuit of the client's rights but also a relationship which generates repeat instructions.’

• ‘Kelly Kirby has a clear-sighted view of her client's litigation strategy and adopts a very pragmatic approach in representing them. She is candid and straightforward, which makes life much easier for clients and counsel. Tom Seabrook has a deep knowledge of property-related issues. He is practical, down-to-earth and unwilling to accept an agenda which conflicts with his client's position.’

• ‘Gunnercooke has a very distinctive and innovative business model. There is a very high-proportion of partners which means that dealings are always with someone who has a high level of expertise.’

• ‘Tom Seabrook has a high level of expertise in real estate litigation. He understands the issues, risks and strategies in litigation. He is commercially-minded and we were jointly able to formulate an effective strategy.’

• ‘This team has superb niche capabilities advising developers with difficult land law issues.’

• ‘Jen Morris has a superb grounding in property law - she is articulate and assiduous in using it to promote the interests of her clients, particularly in land development disputes.’
