Why clients value our service

“We had the pleasure of working with Kirsty Pappin to implement a structured appraisal system at Carter Bond. Kirsty's expertise, professionalism, and tailored approach were instrumental in creating a system that is both efficient and aligned with our firm's culture and goals. Her ability to understand our unique needs and deliver practical, impactful solutions has been invaluable.

 Kirsty is a standout professional who combines strategic insight with a personable and approachable style.”

Reena Popat, Managing Partner – Carter Bond

“Kirsty excels at getting stuff done! With her range of skills across the whole gamut of legal practice management, she’s been able to both add strategic value and get things moving!”

Ian McCann, CEO – Legal Studio

“Kirsty was very helpful in producing a discovery schedule detailing proposed next steps for the operations of the business, advising on a change in software provider for our case management system, and also for a tender we submitted. She was an excellent sounding board and lovely to work with.”

Emma-Jane Taylor-Moran, Managing Director - Rebel Law

“Thank you so much for all of the valuable help and thought-provoking discussion that the download session provided - it was incredibly valuable to all of us. We have all found your input and work on the session’s report really helpful, so thank you very much indeed.”

Sarah Holland, Partner – Loney Stewart Holland

 

“Kirsty not only brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience but also a black book of other experts in the field who can help and support.  Kirsty’s involvement in my firm has transformed it from being a typical high street practice to a firm that is shaping up to be ready for the 22nd century and beyond!

 As a result of working with Kirsty, systems and procedures have been implemented that have increased efficiency and decreased the opportunity for mistake.  Her insight into the market means that I am better able to navigate my firm along its intended growth path.”

 Anon, Managing Partner – North-West Law Firm

 

“We instructed Kirsty to assist the board with the development and implementation of some specific tasks and organisational projects within a tight timescale and budget. We wanted an objective, forceful individual to help push through and keep the board moving at pace.

 Kirsty took charge and moved things forward quickly and effectively. At the time of writing the project is ongoing and we are looking forward to a successful conclusion.”

Anon, Chairman – Leeds Law Firm

“I had the pleasure of speaking with Kirsty during a challenging time in my life, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, her professionalism, empathy, and dedication to achieving the best outcome for my situation was evident, and she continues to keep in touch with offers of assistance and guidance.

 Kirsty has a deep understanding of the inner workings of legal practice and has provided a framework/introduction of areas for improvement.  This personalised approach has been helpful in where to focus efforts and goals on taking the firm further.”

Anon, Partner – Regional Law Firm
