Testimonials

- ‘A boutique firm with particular expertise. They have excellent client care and work tirelessly for their clients. Their approach is always sound and commercial.’
‘Elizabeth Simos and Clayton Miller are both truly excellent. They are robust when required, but behind the scenes will give frank commercial advice. Their advice is clear, they are cool-headed and calm outside court but will fight hard for their clients in litigation.’
‘Ahsan Mian is a partner in waiting. He is equally comfortable in children and financial remedy cases. He always makes time for clients, gives clear and realistic advice, and is an expert negotiator with the other side.’
‘The team is proactive and very knowledgeable in their areas of expertise.’
‘Clayton Miller is excellent with clear communication. Sarah Basso is very knowledgeable and easy to work with.’
‘KMJ is a very focused but hugely personal practice. It does not matter who I speak to; I always get a seamless response. It is clear this is a team that communicates well behind the scenes. I felt at all stages that every option was reviewed and nothing discounted without a thorough discussion and plan.’
