Kay is recognised as a Recommended Lawyer and a Leading Individual in the 2022 edition of The Legal 500.
The 2022 Chambers UK Guide recognises Kay as an exceptional individual ranking her as ‘Senior Statesperson’: a lawyer who no longer works hands-on with the same intensity but who, by virtue of close links with major clients, remains pivotal to the firm’s success.
