“Personable, knowledgeable individuals who have a passion for what they do. They always take the time to get to know their clients and their individual needs. As an independent longstanding firm, they are well respected in the North East of England and beyond.
“Hay and Kilner have effortlessly combined the firepower of a large corporate firm, with the approachability and human touch of a boutique service. Their presence and quality within the marketplace inspire confidence in those they represent and their high-level legal advice ensures that their cases are incredibly well-prepared.
“I have worked with a number of the team at Hay & Kilner on both personal and business matters. All members of the team have been easy to deal with, attentive and knowledgeable. The practice feels small enough to be a valued client rather than a number while offering subject matter expertise.
“I cannot recommend Hay & Kilner enough, my subject which was discussed, can at times be difficult to talk about, and even though I have discussed the said issue in the past, quite a few legal issues where raised which I had not thought about. I now feel calm and at peace about dealing with the issues and sorting my legal affairs to my satisfaction.
“Hay & Kilner were a pleasure to deal with- friendly, helpful and efficient. I felt they were genuinely interested and anxious to get my legal issue sorted as quickly and smoothly as possible. Would definitely use them again.
“It is a pleasure to deal with a strong regional legal practice with some very proficient specialities. Working with you over a number of years, on a number of different matters, has always allowed me to put Hay & Kilner in the highest category of professionalism. Your commitment to the region and your North East independent identity really makes you stand out
“Since becoming a client of Hay & Kilner, we have always had professional, friendly and reliable solicitors that have understood our business and our personal needs from day one. We have used H&K for everything, from business acquisitions, property purchases, contracts and HR matters as well as using their Private Client team for Wills and much more. We, as a business, and as individuals, have never been disappointed with the service received, and would highly recommend their services and expertise.
“We have been dealing with Hay & Kilner for many years and have always received excellent service and advice. We always make Hay & Kilner our first stop for our legal needs.
“Really friendly, clear, concise help provided. Utter professionalism demonstrated on our experiences using Hay & Kilner.
“Every member of staff takes the trouble to engage with you as a client. Receptionists and secretaries know enough about me and my business to make me feel a valid client so that end-to-end contact with the firm is a pleasure.
