KINGSLEY WOOD INSIGHTS

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.

When Maternity Failures Are Systemic: What the Amos Investigation Means for Families

By Amandeep Dhillon • August 28, 2026
On 30 June 2026, Baroness Valerie Amos published the final report of the Independent National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation. It is a national report, but its findings will feel painfully familiar to families affected by failings at individual NHS trusts. The investigation considered evidence from more than 10,500 women, birthing people and families, met more than 450 affected families, heard from more than 9,000 members of staff and examined maternity and neonatal services at 12 NHS trusts. Its conclusion was unequivocal: the system is fragmented, overly complex and too slow to learn. For anyone who has sat across a table from a mother whose baby has died, or whose child has been left with a serious and permanent injury, these findings are devastatingly familiar.

From Legal Complexity to Commercial Advantage: 15+ Years in Energy Law

By Harvir Dhillon • August 14, 2026
The energy sector does not stand still. Markets shift overnight, regulations evolve constantly, and every decision carries financial weight. In this environment, legal advice is not just about protection; it is about driving outcomes. Over the past 15+ years, I have built my career at the intersection of law and commerce, working directly with businesses where legal decisions influence real-world results. That experience has shaped a principle I apply to every client engagement today:

AI Systems – Legal and Commercial Risks, and How to Manage Them

By Tim Carswell • August 13, 2026

However, the pace of adoption has outstripped the development of robust controls, leaving organisations exposed to a rapidly evolving landscape of legal, regulatory and commercial risk. To effectively identify and mitigate these risks, organisations should focus on five key areas when deploying AI systems: regulation, governance, data privacy, intellectual property, and commercial contracts.
