Howard Kennedy was founded in the 1940s and is a firm that has sat quietly in the mid-market with a rather eclectic range of practices. Real estate and disputes work has always featured strongly, though business crime is an under-the-radar star practice. The firm’s most notable merger activity was a union with Finers Stephens Innocent in 2012, which brought on board – among others – star media lawyer Mark Stephens. Other tie-ups have come with smaller firms: CKFT in 2014
