The solicitor I have principally worked with at Brachers is Lacie Kerner. Lacie and I worked together on a shareholders dispute which involved making swift but considered decisions in fast-moving litigation, in the course of which she showed considerable commercial and legal procedural acumen as well as excellent tactical instincts and an ability to keep clients in the loop throughout. She’s an excellent team player and is very responsive, at all times of the day and night! She is also a pleasure to work with.

Lacie Kerner is a real pleasure to work with. Her extensive experience means she can tease out what matters and focus on the key points from the outset. She can build a coherent case theory almost in real-time, and has a real sense for the personalities involved in a case, as well as the legal complexities.
