Rhian Davies
Red Kite Law LLPThe 'strong and dynamic' team at Red Kite Law LLP continues to gain market share on behalf of corporates, individuals and SMEs, which are appreciative of the 'cost-effective' and 'highly commercial' advice it provides across a myriad commercial litigation, including shareholder disputes and issues relating to fraud and deceit. Much of the success for the firm's increased visibility in the space can be attributed to the stellar efforts of Rhian Davies who provides 'very effective leadership', and is 'dynamic, practical and commercial in her approach', skilled as she is at handling full-blown disputes as well as being appreciative of the importance of strategic advice at a pre-action stage to minimise costs and to prevent a matter from unnecessarily mushrooming out of control. Davies also regularly handles work for Welsh higher education providers through the firm's NPS panel appointment. Steven Koukos is another a key member of the team and is recognised as a 'genuine all round gem' with proficiency across a range of 'commercial dispute resolution from company to property and commercial matters'.
