The firm's principal clients are SMEs, financial institutions (including Lloyds, RBS, Nationwide, Aldermore, Svenska Handelsbanken, Broadoak Private Finance), real estate companies and developers (Persimmon, Property Alliance Group), PLCs, and high-net-worth individuals, with a secondary book across hospitality (Brewdog, San Carlo, Revolution Bars, Turtle Bay, The Alchemist), education, healthcare, technology, sports, and charities.

The business model is a traditional professional services fee structure (hourly rates for ongoing matters, fixed fees for defined services, transaction-based fees for deals), with transparent fee communications disclosed via the firm's Fees page (pricing not publicly listed). Kuits is independently partner-owned under an LLP structure, with Steve Eccleston as Managing Partner and Robert Levy as Executive Partner. The firm is UK200-listed and holds multiple accreditations (Lexcel, CQS, Resolution, FSQS, ISO14001, STEP), and was recognised with 15 Legal 500 UK 2026 departmental rankings and 11 Chambers & Partners 2026 rankings with 17 individually ranked lawyers.
