The Legal 500 Guide 2008 recommends Hay & Kilner’s company commercial team:
"Nick James, team leader at Hay & Kilner, had a buoyant year with the addition of further new corporate clients. The firm’s mature client base has continued to provide a steady stream of M&A work in addition to commercial agreement work. ‘Our experience has been very positive’ is a typical client comment. Healthcare sector clients are an important source of work. Jonathan Waters is also recommended."
Recommended by Chambers 2008, an independent guide to the legal profession:
"This compact corporate offering has 'a definite commercial outlook', report peers. The firm’s client base has continued to provide a steady stream of M&A work as well as commercial agreements, the latter primarily in the form of instructions from owner-managed businesses. The healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors continue to be traditional specialisms for the firm, and the group’s performance remained buoyant throughout the year with the addition of new corporate clients.
Nick James is considered: "a lawyer who really knows what he’s doing. His forte is
owner-managed businesses."
