Exceeded my expectations
The service from Gateley Plc matched and exceeded my expectations. Janine was supportive, accessible, friendly and helpful every step of the way. We were always kept abreast of any developments in our case and received helpful advice in a way that we could comprehend. I would be happy to recommend Gateley as an excellent choice in any such similar cases.

Extremely thorough and accurate
I worked with Mikhail on an internal compliance investigation that took place over approximately one year. Mikhail was the day-to-day manager of the forensic review process that complemented our legal review. My team and I found his efforts to be extremely thorough and accurate, and his practical insights into the business concerns made our job as legal analysts much much easier. I look forward to future projects with Mikhail and recommend him highly.

Incredibly impressed
We were incredibly impressed with the service we received from Gateley. Oliver was very professional and patient, providing the ongoing support we needed to secure the correct business visa to be able to establish Kettering International in the UK efficiently. Gateley were incredibly responsive and measured in their approach, providing solid and timely advice to steer us through the immigration process

User-friendly lawyer
Victoria is a user-friendly lawyer who adopts a commercial and pragmatic approach. She is one of those rare things in the legal profession; technically skilled but also a strong negotiator. We regard her very much as one of our team when working together.

Very strong and effective negotiating style
Technically strong and having worked alongside Sarah on a couple of very challenging negotiations, I think she has a very strong and effective negotiating style. It's balanced and I've seen how she’s adept and sufficiently flexible in changing her style from a positional to an interests-based discussion. Excellent at handling complex and difficult discussions.

About this branch
Description
Leeds is our fastest growing regional office. In 2012 we started with six people and now we have over 100 legal professionals operating from our city centre base and working with every type of business across Yorkshire. Founded in Victorian Birmingham, Gateley has changed a lot over the intervening years. Our address list has grown and we have welcomed new offices and teams to the Gateley family. Our clients have changed and we have moved with them. We work with clients from start-ups and SMEs through to large corporates and public sector organisations. What has stayed the same has been our focus on helping our clients to thrive and prosper. That commercial, entrepreneurial spirit goes to the heart of our business and shapes our story.
