David Williams
Partner/Director
David joined DC Kaye & Co in 2009 to specialise into its long-established departments in private and commercial litigation, employment law and criminal defence service.
David quickly proved himself at DC Kaye & Co because of his success with his cases and he was promoted to Head of Litigation in 2011. In early 2013 David was invited into the partnership and became the joint equal owner and Partner/Director of the firm with its longstanding owner and Partner/Director Mr Paul Prikryl, who himself directly took over ownership of the firm from its founder and now Consultant Mr Donald Kaye.
David and Paul share a strong mutual vision about the high-level of service that clients have a right to expect of their lawyers and which their firm is determined to deliver believing in the fundamental value of helping their clients get the best advice at the right time because it is almost always more difficult and expensive to sort out disputes in the future if ambiguities or mistakes occur because legal advice was not taken early enough at the right time.
David is strong in his technical understanding of the law, lateral thinking and yet practical with his advice. His approach to his cases is methodical and incredibly conscientious. He is tenacious, persuasive in Court and in correspondence and shrewd in his legal drafting. He has an enviable success rate with his cases in both the County Court and High Court. You are in safe hands if you instruct David.
Every litigation case is essentially a project that requires the best project management to ensure expedient and efficient success having regard to legal and factual risk analysis, cost vs. benefit analysis and budgeting at all levels.
David has excellent project management skills arising out of his commercial background as well as his thorough knowledge of the civil legal system, its permutations and the contingencies that may arise. In fact David’s client’s rate his skills and foresight for anticipating the contingencies that some lawyers may miss which means that David’s clients are rarely surprised – even by the ‘unexpected’.
