Nicola Kirk heads up Gateley's restructuring team in Reading. She advises on administrative procedures arising from the retail, construction, e-commerce and education sectors. She counts corporates and insolvency practitioners among her clientele.

She is brilliant - she's level-headed, technically knows her stuff and is very commercial. She also considers things from an insolvency practitioner perspective.

Nicola is someone I trust implicitly and she has always been able to provide a solution to situations I have presented her with. Nicola has a perfect mix of professionalism and personal awareness.

She's a fun and engaging person to be with who is good at building bonds and relationships with clients. Her absolute knowledge of the sector is second to none.

I found her to be an impressive partner who knew her client and case well. She was able to lead the team without getting bogged down by the detail.
