Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The quality of service and support is exceptional. Timely, practical, pragmatic, and very professional in tone and content. Very attuned to our culture and the demands of the sector.’
‘Kate Wyatt is an exceptional individual, and we are very fortunate to work with her.’
‘It is quite hard to put into words, in terms of the team what is most helpful is that within each skill set/discipline there is a general knowledge and cooperative approach when you require further advice from a different area within the law. It is collaborative but also very easy - the team make it easy.'
‘In particular, Ben Doherty's end-to-end service is exceptional. What is often missed, which Ben understands, is that when you are seeking advice or you are working through an issue, it is an extremely stressful time, and the ease with which Ben adopts a client-centred approach is truly exceptional.'
‘The individuals at Lindsays stand out for their prompt and responsible handling of cases. Helen Kidd and Connor Barnes exemplify the firm’s dedication. They bring a combination of legal acumen and genuine commitment to client welfare that is rare in the field.'

She has great contacts in the sector, including with OSCR, and goes the extra mile to find solutions for her clients. Her work is of a very high quality.

‘They understand the business and advise appropriately. They listen and are pragmatic, and we work together to get to where we want to be.’
‘I have found the Lindsays team very knowledgeable about various aspects to support our governance activity including articles of association review, rebranding, and renaming of the charity. They provide additional knowledge about changes in the sector, and are also very helpful in keeping us up-to-date of key changes.’
