"Hay & Kilner attracts clients who appreciate its friendly and attentive service. The group has won a raft of new clients who are drawn by the quality of advice and strength of the lawyers, who "always treat clients as individuals, and with respect."...The Healthcare sector has been a good source of work for up-and-comer Jonathan Waters. "Efficient, diligent and commercially minded," he receives praise for his "ability to prioritise his clients' needs effectively." Nick James enjoys an extremely visible regional profile for his representation of owner-managed businesses".

 

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."
