Testimonials
I have been working with the Wilkes team for over 5 years now. Rick Smyth and Lucy Freeman have been with us since acquiring our first business which was the beginning of our journey that eventually led to the Star deal. Since then, we have completed three significant acquisitions together, as well as a host of other related transactions which helped us to develop and grow the business and to navigate the turbulent COVID pandemic. We have also had great assistance from other teams across the firm, including immigration, property, commercial contracts and litigation.
We have always found the Wilkes team to be proactive, approachable and capable. They have been invaluable in helping us solve the problems that we have faced and in taking advantage of business opportunities. They worked incredibly hard to help us deliver on the LDC investment. We were delighted to have Rick and his team with us on this deal.
David Walley, Executive Chairman at Star Live
I had the pleasure of working with Kiran at Wilkes and was thoroughly impressed by her expertise and professionalism. The technical advice I received for a corporate restructure was clear and insightful, and helped me navigate the matter with confidence. Kiran was dedicated, communicated well and delivered on documentation and advice in a timely manner. I felt well supported and guided and I highly recommend Kiran and Wilkes for anyone seeking reliable, expert legal representation.
Chris Vogtherr, Query Capital
Having taken the decision to put our business up for sale, we were recommended to use The Wilkes Partnership LLP as our legal advisers. Their professionalism and attention to detail alongside their knowledge and understanding of our industry was critical in being able to complete on the sale in early February 2023. There were issues that needed to be dealt with along the way but these were attended to speedily and efficiently by the Wilkes team, with input from ourselves as required. Always quick to respond, it was a pleasure working with the Corporate team at Wilkes, in particular Gareth O’Hara, Christie Nelson and Katherine Proctor, who all made significant contributions to the successful sale of our business.

Richard Stevens, Director of Allen Newport Limited
We have worked with Lucy Freeman and the Wilkes corporate team on multiple transactions and have always enjoyed the process. Their expertise and dedication were instrumental in our recent investment into Wolf Eyewear, enabling it to acquire White Optics Limited. We have always benefited greatly from Lucy and her team’s pragmatic, flexible and commercial approach. We couldn’t have asked for a more effective and supportive collaboration and will continue to use their services in the future.
