Clients praise Hay & Kilner for possessing a ‘very strong construction practice’ which belies its size. Businesses in the north east routinely instruct the team for advice on collateral warranties, appointments and documents concerning housing schemes, shopping centres, and commercial developments, as well as care and nursing homes. The Newcastle-based team is led by the 'fantastic' Jan Rzedzian, who has expertise in both projects and disputes, not only in the North East but also nationally and internationally. Dispute resolution specialist Tom Whitfield and recent arrival Adam Chaffer are further names to note.
