Building Connections. Strengthening Partnerships.

Kishan Bhatt • October 23, 2025

A look back at our September Partners Meeting at Carter Lane — where collaboration, growth, and shared vision came together.

On September 25th, partners from across different areas of expertise gathered at Kingsley Wood’s Carter Lane Office for our latest Partners Meeting — a dynamic afternoon filled with collaboration, learning, and connection.


The session was led by our CEO, Kishan Bhatt, who helped guide the discussions and ensure alignment across teams. He emphasized the firm’s continued growth, the importance of collaboration and innovation, and our shared commitment to the partner-led model that defines Kingsley Wood.


The event brought together both long-standing partners and new joiners, providing a valuable opportunity for everyone to engage, share insights, and build stronger professional relationships. Paula Santos, Operations Manager, opened the meeting with key updates on process improvements designed to support partners and consultants more effectively in their day-to-day operations.


Following this, Karen Garcia, Business Development Executive, shared exciting plans to strengthen departmental business development initiatives and enhance firm-wide visibility through strategic marketing and outreach. The afternoon concluded with an inspiring and thought-provoking session led by Michelle Peters, focusing on business development strategies that empower partners to excel under Kingsley Wood’s collaborative, partner-driven model.


It was a truly productive and energizing afternoon — one that reflected Kingsley Wood’s continued commitment to growth, collaboration, and the shared success of its partners.

In the UK M&A landscape, the rules have changed — but too many deal processes haven’t. What used to be a structured checklist has evolved into a dynamic environment shaped by regulatory intervention, valuation tension and increasing due-diligence complexity. In this market, a transaction isn’t just a sequence of steps. It’s a challenge. And closing it requires legal support built for today’s risks, not yesterday’s playbook. At Kingsley Wood, we don’t simply manage deals. We execute them — decisively, strategically, and aligned with your commercial goals.

In the world of construction, conflict often feels inevitable. With multiple stakeholders, complex contracts, tight deadlines, and high financial stakes, even minor misunderstandings can spiral into costly disputes. At Kingsley Wood, we believe the strongest projects aren’t those that win disputes — but those that never face them in the first place. By embedding conflict-avoidance strategies into every phase of a project, you safeguard relationships, protect resources, and deliver better results for everyone involved.

In the fast-paced world of commercial construction, disputes are almost unavoidable — whether over payments, delays, variations, or defects. To prevent these disagreements from escalating into costly and time-consuming litigation, the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (the “Construction Act”) grants parties a statutory right to adjudication — a swift and effective dispute resolution process tailored to the construction industry.
