Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'Elizabeth Meade is very competent for her level and often stood in for Sam when he was not available. No negative impact was felt when she stood in.’
‘CYK have carved out a real niche for themselves. They are able to provide commercial law expertise to rival any of their larger competitors. And yet they do so at a fraction of the cost. They are a true boutique outfit.’
‘Sam Roberts is a star. He has a brain the size of a planet and is an astute strategic thinker. Top drawer material.’
‘Jon Felce is the solicitor every client dreams of. He is extremely precise in his explanations of the law, has a commanding understanding of the law, is familiar with the crypto industry, predicts the opponent's moves, and is very sharp in drafting witness statements. He knows the right barrister to represent the case in court and the right insolvency practitioner where this is required. He also makes great use of his team, who share his dedication to the matter. At the same time, he is extremely humble, reliable, and witty, and an absolute pleasure to work with.’
- 'Kajal Patel is an excellent senior associate, would trust her as a partner on a matter without hesitation - very clever, client-focused and tenacious.’
‘One of the few UK firms, let alone boutiques, operating on the cutting edge of financial services advisory and non-advisory. CYK has a range of first-rate operators operating in the space, particularly Steve Elam and Liz Meade. As well as offering magic circle performance at boutique rates, CYK has always impressed with their litigation strategy and focus on client outcomes.’
