In 1999 the partners wrote down what it meant to them to be a lawyer and why Kennedy Spanner Lawyers was founded. … because every day I get to help people through difficult times in their lives … because I can help the disadvantaged … because I honour the position of trust afforded me … because the right to a fair trial is the foundation stone on which a free society is built … because I relish the challenge of achieving the absolute best for my client … because I realise that being an excellent Solicitor includes being a shoulder to lean on … because sometimes I can indirectly touch the lives of children without them ever knowing … because I enjoy constantly learning about not only the law but about myself … because I am answering the call to serve others … because I want to make a difference!
