Paula Kennedy, head of funds, has been listed as one of the world's leading practitioners in the Lexology Index Thought Leaders: Private Funds 2026 report (formerly Who’s Who Legal).  

Now a thought leader, she is in the top 25-30% of listed practitioners, and is noted for her work in fund formation. Congratulations to funds partner Andrew Christie who continues to be listed as a recommended practitioner, considered a leader in the Private Funds market.
