Testimonials
They’ve also tailored their advice for our small organisation – understanding our risk appetite, framing issues not just about what’s legal but what’s right for employees and the organisation, and ensuring that my Board and I feel supported in what can often be really complex and difficult issues.
Danny and the team have also easily adapted advice, contract templates and policies for our organisation, put them into appropriate and easily digestible language, and generally made things so much easier for me as a Managing Director. I have recommended Danny to many of my clients and associates, and will continue to do so because I trust that Danny and her team will always put forward deeply ethical and fair advice, and will support a client’s needs in a human-centred, solutions-focused way. Having a legal team like DKL to call on gives me a sense of security and confidence that I’m doing the right thing by my employees and my organisation – and I cannot value this highly enough.
