"Although a significant volume of this firm's recent work has consisted of personal insolvency matters, the team's experience also extends to corporate administrations and pre-pack sales of distressed businesses and their assets. A mixture of large and mid-tier IPs instructs the practice on the back of its 'responsiveness' and 'sound technical skills'. The group has a number of noted niche strengths, including advising banks on their right to levy charges on insolvent individuals proposing to enter into voluntary arrangements. It also continues to assist a well-known client on the implementation of Law of Property Act receiverships, which in the past year has generated cases involving sums totalling several million pounds."

- Chambers Guide

"Licensed insolvency practitioner Neil Harrold is especially well regarded, heading a four-partner practice at Hay & Kilner, which clients say is ‘very good'. The firm undertakes a comprehensive mixture of corporate and personal insolvency work. Most of the major North East insolvency practitioners instruct the team, as do some based in Leeds, Manchester, Carlisle and the South East. Instructions also emanate from banks and other financial institutions."
