Accessible, plain English, knowledgeable, accurate and turnaround times are amazing! Kate Doody has been a brilliant partner for our business. In addition, Kate is always contactable and reasonably priced and also knows when it’s not her area of expertise and will happily recommend others. What more could a client want?’
Legal500 client
Kate Doody was engaged for a specific piece of work which was very last minute and Kate helped ensure that the project crossed the line, despite being far more involved than first anticipated. Kate’s ability, professionalism and availability at often awkward hours of the day resulted in a successful conclusion, important attributes given the very narrow window of opportunity available. Highly recommended.
