About Us

We help organisations anticipate, navigate and manage complex legal, policy and regulatory issues — both in the UK and in international environments including the GCC, Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America.

What we do

We advise clients facing high-stakes legal, policy or reputational challenges — from regulatory reform and market access to major litigation and corporate investigations. Our work combines strategic insight with deep understanding of the policy and media environment, enabling our clients to make informed decisions and engage credibly with stakeholders.

Our team includes senior advisers with backgrounds in law, government, journalism and corporate affairs. We work closely with general counsel, boards and senior executives to bring clarity and control to complex, fast-moving issues.

Our Thinking

Kendal is recognised for its independent research and analysis on the UK legal and regulatory landscape. Our 2025 Class Actions Report, produced in partnership with Faegre Drinker and Ipsos has been widely cited across the national media — including The Times – as one of the most comprehensive examinations of the country’s evolving collective-actions regime.

The report reflects our broader approach: bringing objective evidence and practical insight to debates that shape how businesses operate and grow.

Our Reach

From London to Riyadh, Warsaw to São Paulo, we work in jurisdictions where regulation is tightening, stakeholder pressures are increasing, and legal systems are evolving. Whether advising on emerging litigation exposure in the UK, new financial-regulation frameworks in the GCC, or political-risk dynamics in Africa or Latin America, we combine local intelligence with global perspective.

Our Approach

Senior-level expertise: Every engagement is led by senior advisers with direct policy, legal and communications experience.

Integrated thinking: We bring together legal, regulatory, political and media expertise – ensuring our advice is strategic, practical and grounded.

Global but focused: We operate internationally, but work with a select number of clients at any one time to ensure quality, confidentiality and impact.

Our Values

Independence: We are trusted precisely because our advice is objective.

Integrity: We speak plainly and base our work on facts, not noise.

Insight: We invest in research to help shape informed public policy.

Impact: We help clients protect their reputation, manage risk and achieve their goals in complex markets.
