Managing Partner | Law Firm Leader | Building High-Performance, People-First Legal Teams, creating solutions for difficult problems with complex factual matrices in the context of the regulatory backdrop.Starting life as a commercial property lawyer I gained broader development, construction and commercial experience being instructed in some landmark “deals” such as Man City’s acquisition/development of the Etihad Stadium and sale of Main Road .I moved to finance and debt structuring ultimately, leading Kuits Banking Team before handing over to (the more effective) George McMillan.I had some great mentors: Michael Hammelburger passed on his love of the law and taught the importance of people, Johnny Marks the importance of focus and I think I have picked up a fraction of his/Brian Bodek’s/Nathan Mark’s commerciality.As the Managing Partner of Kuits I have had the privilege of steering our firm through the challenges of the last ten years delivering world-class legal services from Manchester.Kuits is powered by a simple, powerful vision—creating a culture where people thrive. At the heart of our success is a commitment to fostering an open, supportive, and diverse work environment that allows our team to exceed expectations. We believe that when people are at their best in work if valued, supported, and empowered to bring their whole selves to work.Transforming Culture: A People-First ApproachKuits culture embraces collaboration, accountability, and innovation. We are a high-performance firm, and achieve this through balance: setting demanding goals and then helping each other to reach them. We foster an environment continuous learning, where people feel confident to take calculated risks, and where diverse viewpoints are encouraged.At Kuits we try to ensure that diversity is not a box-ticking exercise, but a fundamental value. We are stronger because of the varied perspectives and experiences our people bring, and this diversity is evident not only in our team composition but also in our innovative solutions for clients. At Kuits we strive create a safe demanding environment for everyone to grow their career and contribute to the future.A Future-Focused VisionI remain passionate Kuits, a firm where both people and clients feel like partners in success, and committed to maintaining the values of the firm—openness, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.I believe Kuits’ values and people will allow it to continue to raise the bar for what it means to deliver world-class legal services from Manchester.
