Howard Kennedy LLP

I first connected with the team at Howard Kennedy LLP after meeting Matthew Lamb at a few startup events. That’s where the relationship began, and soon after, I had the chance to work with Alex and the wider team.

We engaged them to help review our term sheet, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their support. They were incredibly helpful, offered clear and practical suggestions, and were always kind and responsive, replying to emails promptly and making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Howard Kennedy Ignite is a fantastic startup program, and I would highly recommend to any startup, especially those in the process of fundraising. Having trusted lawyers on your side is essential to ensure everything is done right legally—and with Howard Kennedy, you're in great hands.

As a founder, finding legal support that’s both startup-savvy and genuinely supportive is rare — Howard Kennedy’s Ignite programme nails it. They understood our stage, our goals, and the pace we needed to move at. The team gave us clear, practical advice without overcomplicating things or wasting time, and they were proactive in helping us think ahead, especially around fundraising and equity. They provided me with fixed fees across multiple service lines giving cost certainty and the strategic input from Matt Lamb made a big difference to how we shape our strategy and how confidently we could build. Highly recommend to any founder who wants a proper legal partner from the start.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the unwavering support and dedication Katherine showed me during one of the most difficult times in my life. Her compassion, patience, and professionalism went far beyond my expectations. Katherine was a brilliant legal advisor and a source of strength and reassurance when I needed it most. She treated my case with care, always made me feel heard, and stood by my side every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Katherine to anyone needing a committed, kind-hearted, and competent lawyer. She truly makes a difference.

John Kiely was an absolute pleasure to work with. He helped me with my appeal process in a prompt and clear manner. I'm grateful to know my appeal has been successful. Wish him and the firm good luck.

When purchasing my first property, I encountered various legal difficulties with my first appointed firm, so much so that the completion of my property was in jeopardy. I then came to Ruby at Howard Kennedy under high recommendation and am pleased to say herself and the firm were professional and helpful until the very end. Her expertise and thoroughness were extremely reassuring, she was friendly and approachable with all questions no matter how small. And Ruby personally made the whole daunting process much easier, as I knew I was in safe hands. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Ruby and the firm, and would absolutely use her services again in the future. Many thanks to you again Ruby!
